This paper studies the existence and multiplicity of weak solutions for the following elliptic problem\\$\Delta(\rho|\Delta u|^{p-2}\Delta u)=\lambda m(x)|u|^{p-2}u+f(x,u)+h(x)$ in $\Omega,$\\$u=\Delta u=0$ on $\partial\Omega.$By using Ekeland's variationalprinciple, Mountain pass theorem and saddle point theorem, theexistence and multiplicity of weak solutions are established.

We consider the following elliptic equation: where m > 0, f(x, u)/u tends to a positive constant as u → + ∞. Here, the nonlinear term f(x, u) does not satisfy the usual condition, that is, for some θ > 0, which is important in using the mountain pass theorem. The aim of this paper is to discuss how to use the mountain pass theorem to show the existence of a positive solution to the present problem when we lose the above condition. Furthermore, if f(x, u) ≡ f(u), we also prove that the above problem has a ground state by using the artificial constraint method.

In this paper, we are concerned with the existence of solutions for fourth-order Kirchhoff type elliptic problems with Hardy potential. In fact, employing a consequence of the local minimum theorem due to Bonanno and mountain pass theorem we look into the existence results for the problem under algebraic conditions with the classical Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz (AR) condition on the nonlinear term. Furthermore, by combining two algebraic conditions on the nonlinear term using two consequences of the local minimum theorem due to Bonanno we ensure the existence of two solutions, applying the mountain pass theorem given by Pucci and Serrin we establish the existence of third solution for our problem.

AbstractWe consider a semilinear elliptic problem , (n > 2m). Under suitable conditions on f, we show the existence of a decaying positive solution. We do not employ radial arguments. Our main tools are weighted spaces, various applications of the Mountain Pass Theorem and LP regularity estimates of Agmon. We answer an open question of Kusano, Naito and Swanson [Canad. J. Math. 40(1988), 1281-1300] in the superlinear case: , and improve the results of Dalmasso [C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris 308(1989), 411-414] for the case .

We establish the existence of weak solutions to the inclusion problem [Formula: see text] where Ω is a bounded domain in ℝN, [Formula: see text], and ψ ∊ ℝ × ℝ is a maximal monotone odd graph. Under suitable conditions on ψ, g (which reduce to subcritical and superlinear conditions in the case of powers) we obtain the existence of non-trivial solutions which are of mountain pass type in an appropriate not necessarily reflexive Orlicz Sobolev space. The proof is based on a version of the Mountain Pass Theorem for a non-smooth case.
