We investigate the existence of nontrivial solutions and multiple solutions for the following class of elliptic equations (-?u + V(x)u = K(x)f(u), x ? RN, u ? D1,2(RN), where N ? 3, V(x) and K(x) are both unbounded potential functions and f is a function with a superquadratic growth. Firstly, we prove the existence of infinitely many solutions with compact embedding and by means of symmetric mountain pass theorem. Moreover, we prove the existence of nontrivial solutions without compact embedding in weighted Sobolev spaces and by means of mountain pass theorem. Our results extend and generalize some existing results.

AbstractThis work is devoted to study the existence of solutions to equations of the p Laplacian type in unbounded domains. We prove the existence of at least one solution, and under further assumptions, the existence of infinitely many solutions. We apply the mountain pass theorem in weighted Sobolev spaces.

This paper studies the existence and multiplicity of weak solutions for the following elliptic problem\\$\Delta(\rho|\Delta u|^{p-2}\Delta u)=\lambda m(x)|u|^{p-2}u+f(x,u)+h(x)$ in $\Omega,$\\$u=\Delta u=0$ on $\partial\Omega.$By using Ekeland's variationalprinciple, Mountain pass theorem and saddle point theorem, theexistence and multiplicity of weak solutions are established.

AbstractIn this paper we are concerned with the existence of infinitely-many solutions for fractional Hamiltonian systems of the form ${\,}_tD^{\alpha }_{\infty }(_{-\infty }D^{\alpha }_{t}u(t))+L(t)u(t)=\nabla W(t,u(t))$, where ${\alpha \in (\frac{1}{2},1)}$, ${t\in \mathbb {R}}$, ${u\in \mathbb {R}^n}$, ${L\in C(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R}^{n^2})}$ is a symmetric and positive definite matrix for all ${t\in \mathbb {R}}$, ${W\in C^1(\mathbb {R}\times \mathbb {R}^n,\mathbb {R})}$ and ${\nabla W(t,u)}$ is the gradient of ${W(t,u)}$ at u. The novelty of this paper is that, assuming L(t) is bounded in the sense that there are constants ${0<\tau _1<\tau _2< \infty }$ such that ${\tau _1 |u|^2\le (L(t)u,u)\le \tau _2 |u|^2}$ for all ${(t,u)\in \mathbb {R}\times \mathbb {R}^n}$ and ${W(t,u)}$ is of the form ${({a(t)}/({p+1}))|u|^{p+1}}$ such that ${a\in L^{\infty }(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R})}$ can change its sign and ${0<p<1}$ is a constant, we show that the above fractional Hamiltonian systems possess infinitely-many solutions. The proof is based on the symmetric mountain pass theorem. Recent results in the literature are generalized and significantly improved.

This paper deals with the existence and multiplicity of solutions for a class of quasilinear problems involving \(p(x)\)-Laplace type equation, namely $$\left\{\begin{array}{lll}-\mathrm{div}\, (a(| \nabla u|^{p(x)})| \nabla u|^{p(x)-2} \nabla u)= \lambda f(x,u)&\text{in}&\Omega,\\n\cdot a(| \nabla u|^{p(x)})| \nabla u|^{p(x)-2} \nabla u +b(x)|u|^{p(x)-2}u=g(x,u) &\text{on}&\partial\Omega.\end{array}\right.$$ Our technical approach is based on variational methods, especially, the mountain pass theorem and the symmetric mountain pass theorem.

We are concerned with the following elliptic equations: (−Δ)psv+V(x)|v|p−2v=λa(x)|v|r−2v+g(x,v)inRN, where (−Δ)ps is the fractional p-Laplacian operator with 0<s<1<r<p<+∞, sp<N, the potential function V:RN→(0,∞) is a continuous potential function, and g:RN×R→R satisfies a Carathéodory condition. By employing the mountain pass theorem and a variant of Ekeland’s variational principle as the major tools, we show that the problem above admits at least two distinct non-trivial solutions for the case of a combined effect of concave–convex nonlinearities. Moreover, we present a result on the existence of multiple solutions to the given problem by utilizing the well-known fountain theorem.

This paper is concerned with the existence and multiplicity of fast homoclinic solutions for a class of damped vibration problems with impulsive effects. Some new results are obtained under more relaxed conditions by using Mountain Pass Theorem and Symmetric Mountain Pass Theorem in critical point theory. The results obtained in this paper generalize and improve some existing works in the literature.

We deal with existence and multiplicity results for the following nonhomogeneous and homogeneous equations, respectively: [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is the strongly degenerate operator, [Formula: see text] is allowed to be sign-changing, [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] is a perturbation and the nonlinearity [Formula: see text] is a continuous function does not satisfy the Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz superquadratic condition ((AR) for short). First, via the mountain pass theorem and the Ekeland’s variational principle, existence of two different solutions for [Formula: see text] are obtained when [Formula: see text] satisfies superlinear growth condition. Moreover, we prove the existence of infinitely many solutions for [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] is odd in [Formula: see text] thanks an extension of Clark’s theorem near the origin. So, our main results considerably improve results appearing in the literature.

In this article, we consider the new results for the Kirchhoff-type p-Laplacian Dirichlet problem containing the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative operators. By using the mountain pass theorem and the genus properties in the critical point theory, we get some new results on the existence and multiplicity of nontrivial weak solutions for such Dirichlet problem.
