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.
