Abstract
Let $Ω$ be a bounded open set and $p,q,r>1$. The main observation of the present work is the following: $W_0^{1,p}(Ω)$-solutions of the equation $-Δ_p u = μ|u|^{q-2}u + |u|^{r-2}u$ parameterized by $μ$ are in bijection with properly normalized critical points of the $0$-homogeneous Rayleigh type quotient $R_α(u)=\|\nabla u\|_p^p/ (\|u\|_q^{αp} \|u\|_r^{p-αp})$ parameterized by $α$. We study this bijection and properties of $R_α$ for various relations between $p,q,r$. In particular, for the generalized convex-concave problem (the case $q
