A local and nonlocal coupling model involving the $p$-Laplacian

Abstract

In this paper we extend some results presented in \cite{julio} to the case of the $p$-Laplacian operator. More precisely, we consider a model that couples a local $p$-Laplacian operator with a nonlocal $p$-Laplacian operator through source terms in the equation. The resulting problem is associated with an energy functional. We establish the existence and uniqueness of a solution, which is obtained via the direct minimization of the corresponding energy functional.
