摘要

We obtain nontrivial solutions for two types of asymmetric critical p-Laplacian problems with Ambrosetti-Prodi type nonlinearities in a smooth bounded domain in R-N, N >= 2. For 1 < p < N, we consider an asymmetric problem involving the critical Sobolev exponent p* = Np/(N - p). In the borderline case p = N, we consider an asymmetric critical exponential nonlinearity of the Trudinger-Moser type. In the absence of a suitable direct sum decomposition, we use a linking theorem based on the Z(2)-cohomological index to prove existence of solutions.
