We study the multiplicity of solutions for a class of p(x)-Laplacian equations involving the critical exponent. Under suitable assumptions, we obtain a sequence of radially symmetric solutions associated with a sequence of positive energies going toward infinity.
Let Ω be a bounded domain in with smooth boundary. Consider the following elliptic system: in Ω, in Ω, u = 0, v = 0 in ∂Ω. (ES) We assume that H is an even "-"-type Hamiltonian function whose first order partial derivatives satisfy appropriate growth conditions. We show that if (0,0) is a hyperbolic solution of (ES), then (ES) has at least 2|μ| nontrivial solutions, where μ = μ(0,0) is the renormalized Morse index of (0,0). This proves a conjecture by Angenent and van der Vorst.
We show that, under appropriate structure conditions, the quasilinear Dirichlet problem where is a bounded domain in , , admits two positive solutions , in such that in , while is a local minimizer of the associated Euler-Lagrange functional.
