INFINITELY MANY SOLUTIONS FOR A CLASS OF P-BIHARMONIC PROBLEMS WITH NEUMANN BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
The existence of infinitely many solutions is established for a class of nonlinear functionals involving the p-biharmonic operator with nonhomoge- neous Neumann boundary conditions. Using a recent critical-point theorem for nonsmooth functionals and under appropriate behavior of the nonlinear term and nonhomogeneous Neumann boundary conditions, we obtain the result.
متن کاملUnbounded Critical Points for a Class of Lower Semicontinuous Functionals
In this paper we prove existence and multiplicity results of unbounded critical points for a general class of weakly lower semicontinuous functionals. We will apply a nonsmooth critical point theory developed in [10, 12, 13] and applied in [8, 9, 20] to treat the case of continuous functionals.
متن کاملMultiple critical points for non-differentiable parametrized functionals and applications to differential inclusions
In this paper we deal with a class of non-differentiable functionals defined on a real reflexive Banach space X and depending on a real parameter of the form Eλ(u) = L(u)− (J1 ◦T )(u)−λ(J2 ◦ S)(u), where L : X → R is a sequentially weakly lower semicontinuous C functional, J1 : Y → R, J2 : Z → R (Y, Z Banach spaces) are two locally Lipschitz functionals, T : X → Y , S : X → Z are linear and com...
متن کاملSolutions for Nonlinear Variational Inequalities with a Nonsmooth Potential
First we examine a resonant variational inequality driven by the p-Laplacian and with a nonsmooth potential. We prove the existence of a nontrivial solution. Then we use this existence theorem to obtain nontrivial positive solutions for a class of resonant elliptic equations involving the p-Laplacian and a nonsmooth potential. Our approach is variational based on the nonsmooth critical point th...
متن کاملMultiplicity of nontrivial solutions for elliptic equations with nonsmooth potential and resonance at higher eigenvalues
Abstract. We consider a semilinear elliptic equation with a nonsmooth, locally Lipschitz potential function (hemivariational inequality). Our hypotheses permit double resonance at infinity and at zero (double-double resonance situation). Our approach is based on the nonsmooth critical point theory for locally Lipschitz functionals and uses an abstract multiplicity result under local linking and...
