Some existence theorems for the sublinear Neumann boundary value problem

The author studies the Neumann boundary value problem in the cases of both \(k= 1\) and \(k> 1\): \[ -\Delta u= \mu_k u+ g(x,u)\quad\text{in }\Omega,\quad {\partial u\over\partial n}= 0\quad\text{on }\partial\Omega,\tag{1} \] where \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N\) \((N> 1)\) is a bounded domain with smooth boundary and outward normal \(n(x)\) and \({\partial u\over\partial n}= n(x)\cdot\nabla u\), \(\mu_k\) is the \(k\)th distinct eigenvalue of the eigenvalue problem \[ -\Delta u= \mu u\quad\text{in }\Omega,\quad {\partial u\over\partial n}= 0\quad\text{on }\partial\Omega, \] \(\mu_1= 0\), \(g:\overline\Omega\times \mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}\) is a Carathéodory function. Under some assumptions on the function \(g(x,t)\), using the minimax method in critical point theory and saddle theorem, the author obtains some existence theorems for the solution of problem (1), i.e. problem (1) has at least one solution in the Sobolev space \(H^1(\Omega)\).
