| 英文摘要 | Assume that I is the functional defined on the Hilbert space H-0(1)(Omega) concerning the problem: -Deltau = f(u) in Omega and u = 0 on partial derivativeOmega, where f is sublinear at infinity and superlinear at 0, that is, lim sup(\t\ --> infinity) f (t)/t < lambda(1), lim inf(t-->0)f(t)/t > lambda(1), and lambda(1), is the first eigenvalue of -Delta in H-0(1)(Omega). Under very general conditions, I has at least two local minimizers u(1) and u(2) and one mountain pass point u(3), and max{I(u(1)), I(u(2))} < I(u(3)) < 0. Assuming that u(1), u(2) and u(3) are the only three nontrivial critical points of I, we prove that the level set I-b is contractible for all b greater than or equal to I (u(3)). Using this conclusion, we extend one of Hofer's result concerning existence of four nontrivial solutions of the above problem to the case where I is not C-2 and the trivial critical point 0 may be degenerate. Since I is not C-2, the local topological degree and the critical groups Of u(3) can not be clearly computed. The lack of topological information about 0 and u(3) makes it impossible to use topological degree theory or Morse theory in obtaining the fourth nontrivial solution. To overcome these difficulties, we explore a new technique in this paper. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35J20, 35J25. |
