By applying the method of invariant sets of descending flows, the authors discuss the multiplicity of critical points of a functional and obtain a theorem which is called chain of rings theorem. As an application, they utilize this result to lead to the existence of at least seven or nine solutions for nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems.
