Abstract: | Consider a class of nonlocal problems
$$
\left \{\begin{array}{ll}
-(a-b\int_{\Omega}|\nabla u|^2dx)\Delta u= f(x,u),& \textrm{$x \in\Omega$},\u=0, & \textrm{$x \in\partial\Omega$},
\end{array}
\right.
$$
where $a>0, b>0$,~$\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ is a bounded open domain, $f:\overline{\Omega} \times \mathbb R \longrightarrow \mathbb R $ is a
Carath$\acute{\mbox{e}}$odory function. Under suitable conditions, the equivariant link theorem without the $(P.S.)$ condition due to Willem is applied to prove that the above problem has infinitely many solutions, whose energy increasingly tends to $a^2/(4b)$, and they are neither large nor small. |
