Infinitely many sign-changing solutions for concave-convex elliptic problem with nonlinear boundary condition

Li Wang, Peihao Zhao

Abstract:
In this article, we study the existence of sign-changing solutions to
$$\displaylines{
 -\Delta u+u  =|u|^{p-1}u\quad \text{in } \Omega \cr
 \frac{\partial u}{\partial n}=\lambda |u|^{q-1}u\quad 
 \text{on }\partial \Omega
}$$
with $0<q<1<p\leq \frac{N+2}{N-2}$ and $\lambda>0$. By using a combination of invariant sets and Ljusternik-Schnirelman type minimax method, we obtain two sequences of sign-changing solutions when p is subcritical and one sequence of sign-changing solutions when p is critical.
