The complementing condition and its role in a bifurcation theory applicable to nonlinear elasticity.
The aim of this paper is to establish the existence of at least three solutions for the nonlinear Neumann boundary-value problem involving the p(x)-Laplacian of the form in Ω, on ∂Ω. Our technical approach is based on the three critical points theorem due to Ricceri.
We establish the existence of a T-p(x)-solution for the p(x)-elliptic problem in Ω, where Ω is a bounded open domain of , N ≥ 2 and is a Carathéodory function satisfying the natural growth condition and the coercivity condition, but with only a weak monotonicity condition. The right hand side f lies in L¹(Ω) and F belongs to .
