Multiple solutions to boundary value problems for semilinear elliptic equations

Duong Trong Luyen, Nguyen Minh Tri

Abstract:
In this article, we study the multiplicity of weak solutions to the boundary value problem

where Ω is a bounded domain with smooth boundary in RN (N > 2), f(x,ξ) is odd in ξ and g is a perturbation term. Under some growth conditions on f and g, we show that there are infinitely many solutions. Here we do not require that f be continuous or satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz (AR) condition. The conditions assumed here are not implied by the ones in [3,15]. We use the perturbation method by Rabinowitz combined with estimating the asymptotic behavior of eigenvalues for Schrödinger's equations.
