Infinitely many solutions for a Schrodinger equation with sign-changing potential and nonlinear term

We propose a new variational approach to finding multiple critical points for strongly indefinite problems without assuming the weak upper semicontinuity on the variational functionals. By this approach, we obtain the existence of infinitely many geometrically distinct solutions for a stationary periodic Schrödinger equation, in which the linear part is strongly indefinite and the nonlinear term is allowed to change sign in general ways.

An Improved Fountain Theorem and its Application

The main aim of the paper is to prove a fountain theorem without assuming the $τ$-upper semicontinuity condition on the variational functional. Using this improved fountain theorem, we may deal with more general strongly indefinite elliptic problems with various sign-changing nonlinear terms. As an application, we obtain infinitely many solutions for a semilinear Schrödinger equation with strongly indefinite structure and sign-changing nonlinearity.

Eigenvalue problem for a p-Laplacian equation with trapping potentials

Consider the following eigenvalue problem of p-Laplacian equation \begin{equation}\label{P} -Δ_{p}u+V(x)|u|^{p-2}u=μ|u|^{p-2}u+a| u|^{s-2}u, x\in \mathbb{R}^{n}, \tag{P} \end{equation} where $a\geq0$, $p\in (1,n)$ and $μ\in\mathbb{R}$. $V(x)$ is a trapping type potential, e.g., $\inf\limits_{x \in \mathbb{R}^n}V(x)< \lim\limits_{|x|\rightarrow+\infty}V(x)$. By using constrained variational methods, we proved that there is $a^*>0$, which can be given explicitly, such that problem (\ref{P}) has a ground state $u$ with $\|u\|_{L^p}=1$ for some $μ\in \mathbb{R}$ and all $a\in [0,a^*)$, but (\ref{P}) has no this kind of ground state if $a\geq a^*$. Furthermore, by establishing some delicate energy estimates we show that the global maximum point of the ground states of problem (\ref{P}) approach to one of the global minima of $V(x)$ and blow up if $a\nearrow a^*$. The optimal rate of blowup is obtained for $V(x)$ being a polynomial type potential.
