Infinitely many solutions to fourth order superlinear periodic problems

From MaRDI portal





The authors study the multiple \(T\)-periodic solutions to the equations \[ u^{iv} - cu^{\prime\prime} = f(t,u),\quad t\in [0, T], \] where \(f(t,u)\) is continuous, \(T\)-periodic in \(t\) and satisfies a superlinearity assumption when \(| u| \to\infty\). They give an abstract min-max result for providing critical points for functionals in the presence of a two-component constraint and then apply this result to obtain the multiplicity of \(T\)-periodic solutions of the above equations. Indeed, they prove that for every positive integer \(n\), the equation has a \(T\)-periodic solution having exactly \(2n\) zeros in \((0, T]\).
