##### Abstract [en]

We prove the existence of an unbounded sequence of critical points of the functional J(lambda) (u) = 1/p integral(RN) parallel to x vertical bar(-a)del(k)u vertical bar(p) - lambda h(x)parallel to x vertical bar(-(a+k))u vertical bar(p) - 1/q integral(RN) Q(x)parallel to x vertical bar(-b) u vertical bar(q) related to the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality and its higher order variant by Lin. We assume Q <= 0 at 0 and infinity and consider two essentially different cases: h equivalent to 1 and h in a certain weighted Lebesgue space.

##### Abstract [en]

In this thesis we examine the existence of solutions to nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations via variational methods.

In Paper I we consider the existence of constrained minimizers which correspond to solutions of equations involving the iterated Laplacian, the iterated p-Laplacian and the critical Sobolev exponent. Particular attention is paid to problems with symmetries.

In Paper II we work on singular elliptic problems related to the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg-Lin inequality, which generalizes the Sobolev inequality. We prove the existence of solutions which break the symmetry of the underlying problem and have a prescribed number of nodal domains.

In Paper III we consider a different class of weighted problems related to the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg-Lin inequality. We establish the existence of at least one nontrivial solution. In the case \$p=2\$ (the iterated Laplacian) we show that there are infinitely many solutions.

In Paper IV we extend the results of Paper III concerning the existence of infinitely many solutions to the case \$p\neq 2\$ (the iterated p-Laplacian) and to a larger class of weights.
