Multiple solutions for a fourth-order difference boundary value problem with parameter via variational approach

By establishing the corresponding variational framework, and using the mountain pass theorem, linking theorem and Clark theorem in critical point theory, we give the existence of multiple solutions for a fourth-order difference boundary value problem with parameter. Under some suitable assumptions we obtain some results which ensure the existence of well precise interval of parameter for which the problem admits multiple solutions. Some examples are presented to illustrate the main results.     

Mountain pass theorem in the problem on a nontrivial solution of a quasilinear equation with a parameter

In the present paper, we consider a quasilinear elliptic equation with a parameter whose values lie in a neighborhood of an eigenvalue of the linear problem. To prove the existence of a nontrivial solution, we use a modification of the conditional mountain pass theorem.

In the present paper, we consider a quasilinear elliptic equation in ℝ ^N with a parameter whose values lie in a neighborhood of an eigenvalue of the linear problem. To prove the existence of a nontrivial solution, we use a modification of the conditional mountain pass method. The difficulties related to the lack of compactness of the Sobolev operator in the case of an unbounded domain are eliminated with the use of the Lions concentration-compactness method.     

Constrained mountain pass algorithm for the numerical solution of semilinear elliptic problems

Summary. A new numerical algorithm for solving semilinear elliptic problems is presented. A variational formulation is used and critical points of a C¹-functional subject to a constraint given by a level set of another C¹-functional (or an intersection of such level sets of finitely many functionals) are sought. First, constrained local minima are looked for, then constrained mountain pass points. The approach is based on the deformation lemma and the mountain pass theorem in a constrained setting. Several examples are given showing new numerical solutions in various applications.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000):35J20, 65N99The author would like to thank the referee for helpful comments in particular on Section 4.     

Level set methods for finding critical points of mountain pass type

Computing mountain passes is a standard way of finding critical points. We describe a numerical method for finding critical points that is convergent in the nonsmooth case and locally superlinearly convergent in the smooth finite dimensional case. We apply these techniques to describe a strategy for addressing the Wilkinson problem of calculating the distance from a matrix to a closest matrix with repeated eigenvalues. Finally, we relate critical points of mountain pass type to nonsmooth and metric critical point theory.     

Mountain pass theorems without Palais–Smale conditions

Using nonstandard analysis, we will prove two new mountain pass theorems which cannot be obtained from the well known classical mountain pass theorem of Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz.     

EXISTENCE AND MULTIPLICITY OF SOLUTIONS FOR A CLASS OF p（x）-BIHARMONIC EQUATIONS

In this paper,we study a class of p(x)-biharmonic equations with Navier boundary condition.Using the mountain pass theorem,fountain theorem,local linking theorem and symmetric mountain pass theorem,we establish the existence of at least one solution and infinitely many solutions of this problem,respectively.     

Multiple Solutions for a Differential Inclusion Problem with Nonhomogeneous Boundary Conditions

In this paper, we use a mountain pass theorem with Cerami type conditions for locally Lipschitz functions to investigate the existence of at least one nontrivial solution for a differential inclusion problem involving the p-Laplacian and with nonlinear and nonsmooth boundary conditions. Moreover, by a symmetric version of the mountain pass theorem, we prove the existence of infinitely many solutions.     

Bounded Palais-Smale sequences for non-differentiable functions

The existence of bounded Palais-Smale sequences (briefly BPS) for functionals depending on a parameter belonging to a real interval and which are the sum of a locally Lipschitz continuous term and of a convex, proper, lower semicontinuous function, is obtained when the parameter runs in a full measure subset of the given interval. Specifically, for this class of non-smooth functions, we obtain BPS related to mountain pass and to global infima levels. This is done by developing a unifying approach, which applies to both cases and relies on a suitable deformation lemma.

Multiplicity Results for Kirchhoff-Type Three-Point Boundary Value Problems

This article is concerned with the multiplicity results of the solutions for a Kirchhoff-type three-point boundary value problem. The method observed here is according to variational methods and critical point theory. In fact, through a consequence of the local minimum theorem due Bonanno and mountain pass theorem, we look into the existence results for our problem under algebraic conditions with the classical Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz (AR) condition on the nonlinear term. Furthermore, by combining two algebraic conditions on the nonlinear term, employing two consequences of the local minimum theorem due Bonanno we guarantee the existence of two solutions, and applying the mountain pass theorem given by Pucci and Serrin we establish the existence of third solution for the problem.     

Solution of a Mountain Pass Problem for the Isomerization of a Molecule with One Free Atom

In this paper, we continue the mathematical study of adiabatic chemical reactions, started in a previous work (Ann. Henri Poincarè 5, 477–521, 2004). We consider a molecule with one free atom, the latter having two distinct possible stable positions. We then look for a mountain pass point between these two local minima in the non-relativistic Schr?dinger framework. We prove the existence of a mountain pass point without any assumption on the molecules at infinity, improving our previous results for this model. This critical point is interpreted as a transition state in Quantum Chemistry. Communicated by Rafael D. Benguria submitted 16/12/04, accepted 29/08/05

Superlinear problems without Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz growth condition

Superlinear elliptic boundary value problems without Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz growth condition are considered. Existence of nontrivial solution result is established by combining some arguments used by Struwe and Tarantello and Schechter and Zou (also by Wang and Wei). Firstly, by using the mountain pass theorem due to Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz is constructed a solution for almost every parameter λ by varying the parameter λ. Then, it is considered the continuation of the solutions.     

A mountain pass method for the numerical solution of semilinear wave equations

Summary It is well-known that periodic solutions of semilinear wave equations can be obtained as critical points of related functionals. In the situation that we studied, there is usually an obvious solution obtained as a solution of linear problem. We formulate a dual variational problem in such a way that the obvious solution is a local minimum. We then find additional non-obvious solutions via a numerical mountain pass algorithm, based on the theorems of Ambrosetti, Rabinowitz and Ekeland. Numerical results are presented.Research supported in part by grant DMS-9208636 from the National Science FoundationResearch supported in part by grant DMS-9102632 from the National Science Foundation     

Existence and multiplicity of positive solutions to Schrödinger–Poisson type systems with critical nonlocal term

The existence, nonexistence and multiplicity of positive radially symmetric solutions to a class of Schrödinger–Poisson type systems with critical nonlocal term are studied with variational methods. The existence of both the ground state solution and mountain pass type solutions are proved. It is shown that the parameter ranges of existence and nonexistence of positive solutions for the critical nonlocal case are completely different from the ones for the subcritical nonlocal system.     

Multiple solutions for a semilinear boundary value problem: a computational multiplicity proof

We prove the first genuine “partial differential equation” result on a conjecture concerning the number of solutions of second-order elliptic boundary value problems with a nonlinearity which grows superlinearly at +∞. The proof makes massive use of computer assistance: After approximate solutions have been computed by a numerical mountain pass algorithm, combined with a Newton iteration to improve accuracy, a fixed point argument is used to show the existence of exact solutions close to the approximations.
