Multiple solutions of indefinite elliptic systems via a Galerkin-type Conley index theory

Marek Izydorek, Krzysztof P. Rybakowski (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let Ω be a bounded domain in N with smooth boundary. Consider the following elliptic system: - Δ u = v H ( u , v , x ) in Ω, - Δ v = u H ( u , v , x ) 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.

Multiplicity results for the prescribed scalar curvature on low spheres

Mohamed Ben Ayed, Mohameden Ould Ahmedou (2008)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

In this paper, we consider the problem of multiplicity of conformal metrics of prescribed scalar curvature on standard spheres 𝕊 3 , 𝕊 4 . Under generic conditions we establish someMorse Inequalities at Infinity, which give a lower bound on the number of solutions to the above problem in terms of the total contribution of its critical points at Infinityto the difference of topology between the level sets of the associated Euler-Lagrange functional. As a by-product of our arguments we derive a new existence...

Neumann problems associated to nonhomogeneous differential operators in Orlicz–Sobolev spaces

Mihai Mihăilescu, Vicenţiu Rădulescu (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study a nonlinear Neumann boundary value problem associated to a nonhomogeneous differential operator. Taking into account the competition between the nonlinearity and the bifurcation parameter, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence of nontrivial solutions in a related Orlicz–Sobolev space.
