A new elliptic mixed boundary value problem with (p,q)-Laplacian and Clarke subdifferential: Existence, comparison and convergence results

The goal of this paper is to investigate a new class of elliptic mixed boundary value problems involving a nonlinear and nonhomogeneous partial differential operator [Formula: see text]-Laplacian, and a multivalued term represented by Clarke’s generalized gradient. First, we apply a surjectivity result for multivalued pseudomonotone operators to examine the existence of weak solutions under mild hypotheses. Then, a comparison theorem is delivered, and a convergence result, which reveals the asymptotic behavior of solution when the parameter (heat transfer coefficient) tends to infinity, is obtained. Finally, we establish a continuous dependence result of solution to the boundary value problem on the data.
