Existence and multiplicity results for singular elliptic problems with logarithmic source terms and Orlicz growth
摘要
This paper investigates a class of nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems combining Hardy-type singular potentials, Leray–Lions operators with Orlicz growth, and logarithmic source terms. We study the Dirichlet problem
The interaction between singular coercivity, nonpolynomial diffusion, and logarithmic reaction yields a nonstandard variational structure. Within an Orlicz–Sobolev framework, we prove the existence of nontrivial weak solutions using Hardy-type inequalities and compact embedding results. A Nehari-manifold approach adapted to the logarithmic nonlinearity is then developed to establish multiplicity of solutions for small values of λ. Finally, a conforming finite element discretization is proposed, and numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the convergence and stability of the scheme in the presence of strong singularities and nonstandard growth.
