Neumann problems with double resonance
Keywords
Double resonance, C-condition, unique continuation property, critical groups, Morse theory, homotopy invarianceAbstract
We study elliptic Neumann problems in which the reaction term at infinity is resonant with respect to any pair $\{ \widehat{\lambda}_m, \widehat{\lambda}_{m+1}\}$ of distinct consecutive eigenvalues. Using variational methods combined with Morse theoretic techniques, we show that when the double resonance occurs in a ``nonprincipal'' spectral interval $[\widehat{\lambda}_m, \widehat{\lambda}_{m+1}]$, $ m\geq 1$, we have at least three nontrivial smooth solutions, two of which have constant sign. If the double resonance occurs in the ``principal'' spectral $[\widehat{\lambda}_0=0,\widehat{\lambda}_1]$, then we show that the problem has at least one nontrivial smooth solution.Downloads
