We study the following p-Laplacian equation with nonlinear boundary conditions: -Δ(p)u + μ(x)|u|(p-2)u = f(x,u) + g(x,u),x ∈ Ω, | ∇u|(p-2)∂u/∂n = η|u|(p-2)u and x ∈ ∂Ω, where Ω is a bounded domain in ℝ(N) with smooth boundary ∂Ω. We prove that the equation has infinitely many weak solutions by using the variant fountain theorem due to Zou (2001) and f, g do not need to satisfy the (P.S) or (P.S...

The present paper deals with a Kirchhoff problem under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, set in a bounded smooth domain Ω of R^{N}. The problem studied is a stationary version of the orig inal Kirchhoff equation, involving the p(x)-Lap lacian operator, in the framework of the variable exponent Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces. The question of the existence of weak solutions is treated. Appl...

This article concerns with the problem ?div(jruj m?2 ru) = hu q + u m ?1 ; in R N : Using the Ekeland Variational Principle and the Mountain Pass Theorem, we show the existence of > 0 such that there are at least two non-negative solutions for each in (0;).

Using the mountain pass theorem combined with the Ekeland variational principle, we obtain at least two distinct, non-trivial weak solutions for a class of p(x)-Kirchhoff type equations with combined nonlinearities. We also show that the similar results can be obtained in the case when the domain has cylindrical symmetry.

We apply a recently obtained three-critical-point theorem of B. Ricceri to prove the existence of at least three solutions of certain two-parameter Dirichlet problems defined on the Sierpinski gasket. We also show the existence of at least three nonzero solutions of certain perturbed two-parameter Dirichlet problems on the Sierpinski gasket, using both the mountain pass theorem of Ambrosetti an...

In this note we use variational arguments {namely Ekeland's Principle and the Mountain Pass Theorem{ to study the equation ?u + a(x)u = u q + u 2 ?1 in R N : The main concern is overcoming compactness diiculties due both to the unboundedness of the domain R N , and the presence of the critical exponent 2 = 2N=(N ? 2).

The main purpose of this paper is to establish a three critical points result without assuming the coercivity of the involved functional. To this end, a mountain-pass theorem, where the usual Palais-Smale condition is not requested, is presented. These results are then applied to prove the existence of three solutions for a two-point boundary value problem with no asymptotic conditions.

We study an eigenvalue problem involving variable exponent growth conditions and a non-local term, on a bounded domain Ω ⊂ RN . Using adequate variational techniques, mainly based on the mountain-pass theorem of A. Ambrosetti and P. H. Rabinowitz, we prove the existence of a continuous family of eigenvalues lying in a neighborhood at the right of the origin. Mathematics subject classification (...

Let X be a real Banach space and Φ ∈ C 1 (X, R) a function with a mountain pass geometry. This ensures the existence of a Palais-Smale, and even a Cerami, sequence {u n } of approximate critical points for the mountain pass level. We obtain information about the location of such a sequence by estimating the distance of u n from S for certain types of set S as n → ∞. Under our hypotheses we can ...

The concentration compactness framework for semilinear elliptic equations without compactness, set originally by P.-L.Lions for constrained minimization in the case of homogeneous nonlinearity, is extended here to the case of general nonlinearities in the standard mountain pass setting of Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz. In these setting, existence of solutions at the mountain pass level c is verified un...
