Multiple solutions for semilinear elliptic equations with sign-changing potential and nonlinearity

Dongdong Qin, Xianhua Tang, Jiang Zhang

Abstract:
In this article, we study the multiplicity of solutions for the semilinear elliptic equation
$$\displaylines{ -\Delta u+a(x)u=f(x, u), \quad x\in \Omega,\cr u=0, \quad x \in \partial\Omega, }$$
where $ \Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ $(N\geq3)$, the potential a(x) satisfies suitable integrability conditions, and the primitive of the nonlinearity f is of super-quadratic growth near infinity and is allowed to change sign. Our super-quadratic conditions are weaker the usual super-quadratic conditions.
