Multiple solutions for a class of multipoint boundary value systems driven by a one-dimensional \((p_1, \dots, p_n)\)-Laplacian operator (Q417136)

Summary: Employing a recent three critical points theorem due to \textit{G. Bonanno} and \textit{S. A. Marano} [Appl. Anal. 89, No. 1, 1--10 (2010; Zbl 1194.58008)], the existence of at least three solutions for the following multipoint boundary value system \[ \begin{aligned} -(|u'_i|^{p_i-2} u'_i)' &= \lambda F_{u_i} (x, u_1, \dots, u_n) \text{ in }(0, 1), \\ u_i(0) &= \sum^m_{j=1} a_j u_i (x_j), \\ u_i (1) &= \sum^m_{j=1} b_j u_i (x_j),\quad\text{ for }1 \leq i \leq n, \end{aligned} \] is established.
