Abstract

Let us consider the following minimum problem

λ_{α} (p, r) = u \in W_{0}^{1, p} (- 1, 1) u \neq \equiv 0 min \frac{\int _{- 1}^{1} ∣ u ^{'} ∣ ^{p} d x + α \int _{- 1}^{1} ∣ u ∣ ^{r - 1} u d x ^{\frac{p}{r}}}{\int _{- 1}^{1} ∣ u ∣ ^{p} d x},

where $α \in R$ , $p \geq 2$ and $\frac{p}{2} \leq r \leq p$ . We show that there exists a critical value $α_{C} = α_{C} (p, r)$ such that the minimizers have constant sign up to $α = α_{C}$ and then they are odd when $α > α_{C}$ .
