INFINITELY MANY SOLUTIONS FOR ELLIPTIC SYSTEMS WITH STRONGLY INDEFINITE VARIATIONAL STRUCTURE

Based on the multiplicity results of Benci and Fortunato [4], we consider some elliptic systems with strongly indefinite quadratic part, and establish the existence of infinitely many nontrivial solutions in a suitable family of products of fractional Sobolev spaces.     

Existence and multiplicity of nontrivial solutions for nonlinear fractional differential systems with p‐Laplacian via critical point theory

In this paper, the existence and multiplicity of nontrivial solutions are obtained for nonlinear fractional differential systems with p‐Laplacian by combining the properties of fractional calculus with critical point theory. Firstly, we present a result that a class of p‐Laplacian fractional differential systems exists infinitely many solutions under the famous Ambrosetti‐Rabinowitz condition. Then, a criterion is given to guarantee that the fractional systems exist at least 1 nontrivial solution without satisfying Ambrosetti‐Rabinowitz condition. Our results generalize some existing results in the literature.

Nontrivial solutions for resonant cooperative elliptic systems via computations of the critical groups

In this paper, we consider a class of resonant cooperative elliptic systems. Based on some new results concerning the computations of the critical groups and the Morse theory, we establish some new results about the existence and multiplicity of solutions under new classes of conditions. It turns out that our main results sharply improve some known results in the literature.     

Multiple solutions for fourth-order boundary value problem

In this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity of nontrivial solutions for the fourth-order two point boundary value problems. Making use of the theory of fixed point index in cone and Leray-Schauder degree, under general conditions on nonlinearity, we prove that there exist at least six different nontrivial solutions for the fourth-order two point boundary value problems. Furthermore, if the nonlinearity is odd, we obtain that there exist at least eight different nontrivial solutions.

On interfaces between incompatible wells and elastic deformations of infinite cylinders

We consider the minimization problem for the functional where is an infinitely long cylinder. The density is polyconvex and assumed to be 0 on a set of wells and positive elsewhere. We show that the gradients of solutions with finite energy have to approach one component for and one component for , if the number of components is finite (among other conditions). Moreover, for certain pairs of distinct components we construct nontrivial minimizers within the class of solutions approaching the given components. We follow ideas developed in the variational study of heteroclinic connections for Lagrangian systems and we put special emphasis on multiplicity of such interface solutions. We discuss an application in the theory of nonlinear elasticity, where such solutions are called semi-necks. When a two-dimensional infinite hyperelastic strip is stretched along its infinite direction it may occur that for a given tensile load many homogeneous deformations are possible. In such a case we show by infimizing the energy functional the existence of configurations that tend asymptotically to two different homogeneous deformations.

Long term dynamics of a reaction-diffusion system

We study a reaction-diffusion system of two parabolic differential equations describing the behavior of a nuclear reactor. We provide existence results for nontrivial periodic solutions, nonexistence results for stationary solutions and we prove that, depending on the value of the parameters, either the system admits a compact global attractor, or the solutions are unbounded.     

On nontrivial solutions of critical polyharmonic elliptic systems

In the present work, we consider elliptic systems involving polyharmonic operators and critical exponents. We discuss the existence and nonexistence of nontrivial solutions to these systems. Our theorems improve and/or extend the ones established by Bartsch and Guo [T. Bartsch, Y. Guo, Existence and nonexistence results for critical growth polyharmonic elliptic systems, J. Differential Equations 220 (2006) 531-543] in both aspects of spectral interaction and regularity of lower order perturbations.     

On the solvability of a boundary value problem for a fourth-order ordinary differential equation

We study the existence and multiplicity of nontrivial periodic solutions for a semilinear fourth-order ordinary differential equation arising in the study of spatial patterns for bistable systems. Variational tools such as the Brezis–Nirenberg theorem and Clark theorem are used in the proofs of the main results.
