Bifurcation for second-order Hamiltonian systems with periodic boundary conditions.
In this paper we study the existence of critical points for noncoercive functionals, whose principal part has a degenerate coerciveness. A bifurcation result at zero for the associated differential operator is established.
We deal with a bifurcation result for the Dirichlet problem ⎧ a.e. in Ω, ⎨ ⎩. Starting from a weak lower semicontinuity result by E. Montefusco, which allows us to apply a general variational principle by B. Ricceri, we prove that, for μ close to zero, there exists a positive number such that for every the above problem admits a nonzero weak solution in satisfying .
A recent multiplicity result by Ricceri, stated for equations in Hilbert spaces, is extended to a wider class of Banach spaces. Applications to nonlinear boundary value problems involving the p-Laplacian are presented.
We deal with some Dirichlet problems involving a nonlocal term. The existence of two nonzero, nonnegative solutions is achieved by applying a recent result by Ricceri.
