Variational analysis of anisotropic Schrödinger equations without Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz-type condition (Q1742088)

The authors study the qualitative properties of weak solutions of nonlinear stationary Schrödinger-type equations given in the form \[ \begin{aligned} -\sum_{i=1}^N \partial_{x_i}a_i(x,\partial_{x_i}u)+b(x)|u|^{P_+^+-2}u & = \lambda f(x,u) \text{ in } \Omega, \\ u& = 0 \text{ on } \partial \Omega, \end{aligned} \] without assuming the well-known Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. The arguments in their proofs rely on the existence of a Cerami sequence by applying a certain variant of the mountain pass theorem due to Schechter.
