Nontrivial solutions of a semilinear elliptic problem via variational methods (Q4824813)

In the present study the author considers the existence of nontrivial solutions of the following problem on a bounded domain \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N\) with smooth boundary \[ \Delta u+\lambda_ku+g(x,u)=0,\;x\in \Omega\quad u=0,\text{ on } \partial\Omega,\tag{1} \] where \(g(x,t)\) is a Carathéodory functions such that \(g(x,0)=0\) for almost everywhere \(x \in\Omega\) and \(\lambda_k\) is the \(k\)th \((k \geq 2)\) eigenvalues for the elliptic operator \(-\Delta\) with zero Dirichlet boundary condition. To this end, the author uses variational methods.
