From the p , the embedding W01,p (Ω ) ↩→ Lτ (Ω ) is Sobolev and Rellich embedding theorems, for any 1 ≤ τ < NN−p continuous and compact, and there is a positive constant C = C(τ, p, N ) such that |u|τ ≤ C∥u∥p ,

for all u ∈ W01,p (Ω ),

(3)

where | · |τ denotes the norm of Lτ (Ω ). In the sequel, C also denotes a positive constant related to the above embedding. Let H = W01,p (Ω ) × W01,q (Ω ) be Banach space with the norm ∥(u, v)∥ = ∥u∥p + ∥v∥q for any (u, v) ∈ H. Let us consider the following nonlinear eigenvalue problem with weights  p−2 α β  −∆p u = λa(x)|u| u + λb(x)|u| |v| v in Ω , q−2 α β (4) −∆q v = λc(x)|v| v + λb(x)|u| |v| u in Ω ,  u = v = 0 on ∂Ω . Define the functionals φ, ϕ : H → R as   α+1 β+1 φ(u, v) = |∇u|p dx + |∇v|q dx, p q Ω Ω   β+1 α+1 p a(x)|u| dx + c(x)|v|q dx + b(x)|u|α |v|β uvdx, ϕ(u, v) = p q Ω Ω Ω and the manifold Σ = {(u, v) ∈ H : ψ(u, v) = 1}. We say that φ(u, v), ϕ(u, v) are (p, q)-homogeneous, namely φ(t1/p u, t1/q v) = tφ(u, v),

ϕ(t1/p u, t1/q v) = tϕ(u, v)

for any t > 0 and (u, v) ∈ H,

and if one of (a1)–(a3) is satisfied, Σ is a symmetric nonempty manifold in H. By a standard argument (the similar proof seen in [1,2]), problem (4) has a sequence of eigenvalues with the variational characterization λk = inf

sup φ(u, v),

F ∈Σk (u,v)∈F

where Σk = {F ⊂ Σ : there is an odd, continuous and surjective γ : S k−1 → F } and S k−1 denotes the unit sphere in Rk . On the other hand, let   α+1 β+1 λ′1 = inf |∇u|p dx + |∇v|q dx, p q (u,v)∈Σ Ω Ω then λ′1 is also the first eigenvalue of (4), and from the definition of λ1 , it is easy to see that λ1 = λ′1 . Moreover, λ1 is a simple, isolated and positive principal eigenvalue of (4) and corresponds to a positive normalized eigenvalue (µ0 , ν0 ), that is ∥µ0 ∥p + ∥ν0 ∥q = 1, hence the set of all eigenfunctions corresponding to λ1 is E1 := {(t1/p µ0 , t1/q ν0 ) : t ≥ 0} ∪ {(−t1/p µ0 , −t1/q ν0 ) : t ≥ 0}. Since φ(u, v), ϕ(u, v) are (p, q)-homogeneous, there exists a positive constant t0 such that 1/p

Let µ1 = t0 µ0 , ν1 = t0 ν0 , then {(t1/p µ0 , t1/q ν0 ) : t ≥ 0}∪{(−t1/p µ0 , −t1/q ν0 ) : t ≥ 0} = {(t1/p µ1 , t1/q ν1 ) : t ≥ 0} ∪ {(−t1/p µ1 , −t1/q ν1 ) : t ≥ 0}, In the following, let E1 := {(t1/p µ1 , t1/q ν1 ) : t ≥ 0} ∪ {(−t1/p µ1 , −t1/q ν1 ) : t ≥ 0}.

The set E1 is not a one-dimensional linear subspace of H and the corresponding orthogonal decomposition on H does not hold with respect to the first eigenvalue λ1 . The Landesman–Lazer-type conditions were introduced by Landesman and Lazer in [3] and have been widely used and extended (see [1,2,4–10] and the reference therein). In [1], if p = q ≥ 2 and the certain Landesman–Lazer-type conditions hold, Zographopoulos proved that problem (1) has at least one weak solution, but he does not know whether the similar result holds for p ̸= q. In this paper, we will give out a positive answer. We first state some auxiliary conditions. (F1) There is h ∈ C(Ω , R+ ) such that |g1 (x, t)| ≤ h(x)

and |g2 (x, t)| ≤ h(x) ∀ (x, t) ∈ Ω × R;

(F2) There exist functions g1+ , g1− ∈ C(Ω , R) such that g1+ (x) = lim g1 (x, t),

g1− (x) = lim g1 (x, t)

t→+∞

t→−∞

uniformly for all x ∈ Ω ;

(F3) There exist functions g2+ , g2− ∈ C(Ω , R) such that g2+ (x) = lim g2 (x, t),

g2− (x) = lim g2 (x, t)

t→+∞

t→−∞

uniformly for all x ∈ Ω .

The Landesman–Lazer-type conditions for problem (1) are assumed either     (α + 1) g1− µ1 dx + (β + 1) g2− ν1 dx < (α + 1) h1 µ1 dx + (β + 1) h2 ν1 dx Ω

The main results of this paper are the following theorems. Theorem 1. Suppose that (2), h1 ∈ Lp/(p−1) (Ω ), h2 ∈ Lq/(q−1) (Ω ) and one of (a1)–(a3) hold, and g1 , g2 satisfy (F1), (F2), (F3) and (5). If 1 < p < q, assume that the following inequalities hold:     − + h1 µ1 dx − g1 µ1 dx < 0 and g1 µ1 dx − h1 µ1 dx < 0, (7) Ω







then problem (1) has at least one solution. In the other case 1 < q < p, we have the following result. Theorem 2. Suppose that (2), h1 ∈ Lp/(p−1) (Ω ), h2 ∈ Lq/(q−1) (Ω ) and one of (a1)–(a3) hold, and g1 , g2 satisfy (F1), (F2), (F3) and (5). If 1 < q < p, assume that the following inequalities hold:     h2 ν1 dx − g2+ ν1 dx < 0 and g2− ν1 dx − h2 ν1 dx < 0, (8) Ω



then problem (1) has at least one solution.

Theorem 3. Suppose that (2), h1 ∈ Lp/(p−1) (Ω ), h2 ∈ Lq/(q−1) (Ω ) and one of (a1)–(a3) hold. If g1 , g2 satisfy (F1), (F2), (F3) and (6), problem (1) has at least one solution. Remark. Theorems 1 and 2 are the positive answers of an open problem in [1], and the conditions (7) and (8) are two technical assumptions to ensure the functional I defined in Section 2 is coercive in E1 . Theorem 3 is similar to the case p = q, which was discussed in [1]. 2.

I(u, v) = I1 (u, v) + I2 (u, v)

From the variational view of point, a weak solution of problem (1) is exactly a critical point of the functional I in H. We will prove Theorem 1 by using the G-linking Theorem (see [5,9]) and the proof of Theorem 2 is similar. The proof of Theorem 3 is similar to the case p = q and the details are seen in [1]. Proof of Theorem 1. (i) The functional I satisfies the (P S) condition. Let (un , vn ) be a sequence such that there exists a positive constant c > 0 such that |I(un , vn )| ≤ c for all n,

and I ′ (un , vn ) → 0

as n → ∞.

(9)

We first say that (un , vn ) is bounded in H, and then prove that (un , vn ) has a convergent subsequence. Assume for contradiction that ∥(un , vn )∥ = ∥un ∥p + ∥vn ∥q → +∞ as n → ∞. Let Un := ∥un ∥pp + ∥vn ∥qq and n n , v¯n = v1/q , hence (¯ un , v¯n ) is bounded in H, i.e. ∥¯ un ∥pp + ∥¯ vn ∥qq = 1 for all n, which implies define u ¯n = u1/p Un

Un

there exists a subsequence of (¯ un , v¯n ), still denoted by (¯ un , v¯n ), and (¯ u, v¯) ∈ H such that (¯ un , v¯n ) ⇀ (¯ u, v¯) weakly in H, (¯ un , v¯n ) → (¯ u, v¯) strongly in Lp (Ω ) × Lq (Ω ) and (¯ un (x), v¯n (x)) → (¯ u(x), v¯(x)) for a.e. x ∈ Ω . Hence we can obtain |¯ un |p → |¯ u|p strongly in L1 (Ω ). it follows that       p p  a(x)|¯  u | dx − a(x)|¯ u | dx ≤ |a| ||¯ un |p − |¯ u|p |dx → 0 as n → ∞. (10) n ∞   Ω

and from h1 ∈ Lp/(p−1) (Ω ), h2 ∈ Lq/(q−1) (Ω ) and H¨older’s inequality, it follows that  1 (h1 un + h2 vn )dx → 0 as n → ∞. Un Ω

for all u ∈ W01,p (Ω ), similarly, we have      G2 (x, v)dx ≤ C1 ∥v∥q   where C1 is a positive constant. Hence we get  1 G1 (x, un )dx → 0 and Un Ω

hence from (10), (11), (12), (15), and (16), it follows that     β+1 α+1 |∇¯ un |p dx + |∇¯ vn |q dx lim sup p q n→∞ Ω Ω      α+1 β + 1 ≤ λ1 a(x)|¯ u|p dx + c(x)|¯ v |q dx + b(x)|¯ u|α |¯ v |β u ¯v¯dx . p q Ω Ω Ω Hence, using the weak lower semicontinuity of the norm and the Poincar´ e inequality, we obtain      α+1 β+1 p q α β a(x)|¯ u| dx + c(x)|¯ v | dx + b(x)|¯ u| |¯ v| u ¯v¯dx λ1 p q Ω Ω  Ω α+1 β+1 ≤ |∇¯ u|p dx + |∇¯ v |q dx p q Ω  Ω   β+1 α+1 p ≤ lim inf |∇¯ un | dx + |∇¯ vn |q dx n→∞ p q Ω Ω     α+1 β + 1 ≤ lim sup |∇¯ un |p dx + |∇¯ vn |q dx p q n→∞ Ω Ω      α+1 β + 1 ≤ λ1 a(x)|¯ u|p dx + c(x)|¯ v |q dx + b(x)|¯ u|α |¯ v |β u ¯v¯dx , p q Ω Ω Ω which implies that the following equality holds:   α+1 β+1 |∇¯ u|p dx + |∇¯ v |q dx p q Ω Ω      α+1 β+1 p = λ1 a(x)|¯ u| dx + c(x)|¯ v |q dx + b(x)|¯ u|α |¯ v |β u ¯v¯dx , p q Ω Ω Ω

and by the uniform convexity of H, it follows that (¯ un , v¯n ) converges strongly to (¯ u, v¯) in H, and from the definition of (µ1 , ν1 ), it follows that (¯ u, v¯) = (±µ1 , ±ν1 ). In the following, assume that (¯ u, v¯) = (µ1 , ν1 ), and the case where (¯ u, v¯) = −(µ1 , ν1 ) may be treated similarly. Hence from the definitions of I1 , I2 , we have    v¯n pI1 (un , vn ) qI2 (un , vn ) u ¯n ′ , + − I (un , vn ), 1/p 1/q p−1 q−1 (p − 1)Un (q − 1)Un    α+1 p = g1 (x, un )¯ un dx − 1/p G1 (x, un )dx p−1 Ω Ω Un    β+1 q + g2 (x, vn )¯ vn dx − 1/q G2 (x, vn )dx q−1 Ω Ω Un   + (α + 1) h1 u ¯n dx + (β + 1) h1 v¯n dx.

Therefore, taking the limit in (17) and from (9), (18), (19), (20) and (21), we get     (α + 1) h1 µ1 dx + (β + 1) h2 ν1 dx = (α + 1) g1+ µ1 dx + (β + 1) g2+ ν1 dx, Ω







which is a contradiction with the condition (5). Hence, (un , vn ) is bounded in H. From (F1), a standard argument implies that (un , vn ) strongly converges in H. (ii) The functional I satisfies the geometries of G-linking Theorem. From the definition of E1 = {(t1/p µ1 , t1/q ν1 ) : t ≥ 0} ∪ {(−t1/p µ1 , −t1/q ν1 ) : t ≥ 0}, for any (u, v) ∈ E1 , we have   α+1 β+1 |∇u|p dx + |∇v|q dx p q Ω Ω      α+1 β+1 p q α β = λ1 a(x)|u| dx + c(x)|v| dx + b(x)|u| |v| uvdx .

From the above equality, 1 < p < q, (7), (25) and (26), we have I(t1/p µ1 , t1/q ν1 ) → −∞ as t → +∞. Similarly, if g1+ and g2+ exchanged with g1− and g2− respectively, we obtain I(−t1/p µ1 , −t1/q ν1 ) → −∞ as t → +∞. Hence, we have lim I(±t1/p µ1 , ±t1/q ν1 ) = −∞.

On the other hand, let Λ2 := {(u, v) ∈ H : φ(u, v) ≥ λ2 ϕ(u, v)}. From (3), (13), (14), and H¨older’s inequality, for all (u, v) ∈ Λ2 , we obtain   λ2 − λ1 β + 1 λ2 − λ1 α + 1 p |u| + |h | q |v| ∥u∥pp + ∥v∥qq − C1 (∥u∥p + ∥v∥q ) − |h1 | p−1 I(u, v) ≥ p 2 q−1 q λ2 p λ2 q   λ2 − λ1 α+1 β+1 ≥ min , (∥u∥pp + ∥v∥qq ) − C2 (∥u∥p + ∥v∥q ), λ2 p q p , |h | q }, combining the above expression with (27), there is a constant where C2 = C1 + C max{|h1 | p−1 2 q−1 T > 0 such that

Let M = {(±t1/p µ1 , ±t1/q ν1 ) : t ≥ T } and G = {h ∈ C(S 0 , H) : h is odd and h(S 0 ) ⊂ M }, where S 0 is the boundary of the closed unit ball B 1 in R1 , that is S 0 = ∂B 1 . For any h ∈ G, by (28), we get h(S 0 ) ∩ Λ2 = Ø, which shows that G is a subset of C(S 0 , H \ Λ2 ). Let Γ = {h ∈ C(B 1 , H) : h|S 0 ∈ G}, we can claim: Γ is nonempty, and Λ2 and S 0 are G-linking, that is h(B 1 ) ∩ Λ2 ̸= Ø for all h ∈ Γ . The similar proof of conclusion may be found in [2,5,9], therefore we omit it. Finally, Theorem 1 is proved from the G-linking Theorem.
