Abstract

For p > 2, we consider the quasilinear equation $-\Delta_p u+|u|^{p-2}u=g(u)$ in the unit ball B of $\mathbb R^N$, with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. The assumptions on g are very mild and allow the nonlinearity to be possibly supercritical in the sense of Sobolev embeddings. We prove the existence of a nonconstant, positive, radially nondecreasing solution via variational methods. In the case $g(u)=|u|^{q-2}u$, we detect the asymptotic behavior of these solutions as $q\to \infty$.
