Three positive solutions for Dirichlet problems involving critical Sobolev exponent and sign-changing weight

In this paper, we study the decomposition of the Nehari manifold via the combination of concave and convex nonlinearities. Furthermore, we use this result and the Lusternik-Schnirelman category to prove that a semilinear elliptic equation involving a sign-changing weight function has at least three positive solutions.     

On sign-changing solution for a fourth-order asymptotically linear elliptic problem

In this paper we deal with a fourth-order elliptic problem whose nonlinear term is asymptotically linear at both zero and infinity. By using the variational method, we obtain an existence result of sign-changing solutions as well as positive and negative solutions.     

Sign-changing solutions for p-biharmonic equations with Hardy potential in ℝN

In this article, by using the method of invariant sets of descending flow, we obtain the existence of sign-changing solutions of p-biharmonic equations with Hardy potential in ?^N.     

Infinitely many solutions for Hamiltonian systems

We consider two classes of the second-order Hamiltonian systems with symmetry. If the systems are asymptotically linear with resonance, we obtain infinitely many small-energy solutions by minimax technique. If the systems possess sign-changing potential, we also establish an existence theorem of infinitely many solutions by Morse theory.     

A Bahri–Lions theorem revisited

In 1988, A. Bahri and P.L. Lions [A. Bahri, P.L. Lions, Morse-index of some min–max critical points. I. Application to multiplicity results, Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 41 (1988) 1027–1037] studied the following elliptic problem:

where Ω is a bounded smooth domain of , 2<p<(2N−2)/(N−2) and f(x,u) is not assumed to be odd in u. They proved the existence of infinitely many solutions under an appropriate growth restriction on f. In the present paper, we improve this result by showing that under the same growth assumption on f the problem admits in fact infinitely many sign-changing solutions. In addition we derive an estimate on the number of their nodal domains. We also deal with the corresponding fourth order equation Δ²u=|u|^p−2u+f(x,u) with both Dirichlet and Navier boundary conditions, as well as with strongly coupled elliptic systems.     

Sign-Changing and Multiple Solutions Theorems for Semilinear Elliptic Boundary Value Problems with Jumping Nonlinearities

In this paper, we use the ordinary differential equation theory of Banach spaces and minimax theory, and in particular, the relative mountain pass lemma to study semilinear elliptic boundary value problems with jumping nonlinearities at zero or infinity, and get new multiple solutions and sign-changing solutions theorems, at last we get up to six nontrivial solutions.
