If Omega is an unbounded domain in R^N and p > N, the Sobolev space W^(1,p)(Omega) is not compactly embedded into L^infinity(Omega). Nevertheless, we prove that if Omega is a strip-like domain, then the subspace of W^(1,p)(Omega) consisting of the cylindrically symmetric functions is compactly embedded into L^infinity(Omega). As an application, we study a Neumann problem involving the p-Laplacian operator and an oscillating nonlinearity, proving the existence of infinitely many weak solutions. Analogous results are obtained for the case of partial symmetry.

Abstract

If Omega is an unbounded domain in R^N and p > N, the Sobolev space W^(1,p)(Omega) is not compactly embedded into L^infinity(Omega). Nevertheless, we prove that if Omega is a strip-like domain, then the subspace of W^(1,p)(Omega) consisting of the cylindrically symmetric functions is compactly embedded into L^infinity(Omega). As an application, we study a Neumann problem involving the p-Laplacian operator and an oscillating nonlinearity, proving the existence of infinitely many weak solutions. Analogous results are obtained for the case of partial symmetry.
