Infinitely many sign-changing solutions for a class of biharmonic equation without symmetry (Q1026053): Difference between revisions

The authors consider the following problem: \(\Delta ^{2}u=f(x,u)+p(x,u) \;\;\)in \(\Omega ,u\in H^{2}(\Omega )\cap H_{0}^{1}(\Omega ),\) where \(\Omega \) \(\subset \mathbb{R}^{N}(N\geq 5)\) is an open bounded domain with smooth boundary, \(f(x,u)\) is an odd Carathéodory function which is superlinear in \(u\) and \(p(x,u)\) is a Carathéodory function which is a non odd perturbation of \(f(x,u),\) with respect to \(u.\) By using the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz symmetric pass theorem, they proved the existence of infinite sequence of sign changing solutions.
