چکیده

A theorem of William Jaco and Eric Sedgwick states that if M is an irreducible, ∂-irreducible 3-manifold with boundary a single torus, and if M contains no genus one essential (incompressible and ∂-incompressible) surfaces, then M cannot contain infinitely many distinct isotopy classes of essential surfaces of uniformly bounded genus. The main result in this paper is a generalization: If M is an irreducible ∂-irreducible 3-manifold with boundary, and M contains no genus one or genus zero essential surfaces, then M cannot contain infinitely many isotopy classes of essential surfaces of uniformly bounded genus.

Existence results of infinitely many solutions for a class of p(x)-biharmonic problems

The existence of infinitely many weak solutions for a Navier doubly eigenvalue boundary value problem involving the $p(x)$-biharmonic operator is established. In our main result, under an appropriate oscillating behavior of the nonlinearity and suitable assumptions on the variable exponent, a sequence of pairwise distinct solutions is obtained. Furthermore, some applications are pointed out.

A VARIATIONAL APPROACH TO THE EXISTENCE OF INFINITELY MANY SOLUTIONS FOR DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS

The existence of infinitely many solutions for an anisotropic discrete non-linear problem with variable exponent according to p(k)–Laplacian operator with Dirichlet boundary value condition, under appropriate behaviors of the non-linear term, is investigated. The technical approach is based on a local minimum theorem for differentiable functionals due to Ricceri. We point out a theorem as a spe...

Infinitely many solutions for a bi-nonlocal‎ ‎equation with sign-changing weight functions

In this paper, we investigate the existence of infinitely many solutions for a bi-nonlocal equation with sign-changing weight functions. We use some natural constraints and the Ljusternik-Schnirelman critical point theory on C1-manifolds, to prove our main results.

Infinitely Many Solutions for a Steklov Problem Involving the p(x)-Laplacian Operator

By using variational methods and critical point theory for smooth functionals defined on a reflexive Banach space, we establish the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for a Steklov problem involving the p(x)-Laplacian depending on two parameters. We also give some corollaries and applicable examples to illustrate the obtained result../files/site1/files/42/4Abstract.pdf
