Three solutions to discrete anisotropic problems with two parameters

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this note we derive a type of a three critical point theorem which we further apply to investigate the multiplicity of solutions to discrete anisotropic problems with two parameters.


An extension of the three critical point theorem is provided. Some known three critical point theorems are recalled in Section 3 and the main result is established in Section 4. In Section 5 it is applied to a proof of existence of at least two nontrivial solutions of the discrete boundary value problem \[ \begin{gathered}-\Delta\big[|\Delta x(k-1)|^{p(k-1)-2}\,\Delta x(k-1)\big]+\gamma\,g(k,x(k))+\lambda\,f(k,x(k))=0,\qquad k\in\{1,\dots,T\},\\ x(0)=0=x(T+1),\end{gathered} \] where \(\gamma,\lambda>0\) are numerical parameters, \(f,g:\{1,\dots,T\}\times\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}\) are continuous functions satisfying some additional assumptions, and \(p:\{0,\dots,T+1\}\to\mathbb{R}_+\). A variational framework for the latter problem is given in Section 2.
