Multiple nontrivial solutions of superlinear fractional Laplace equations without (AR) condition

Abstract

In this article, we study a class of nonlinear fractional Laplace problems with a parameter and superlinear nonlinearity (−Δ)su=λu+f(x,u),inΩ,u=0,inRN\Ω.\left\{\phantom{\rule[-1.25em]{}{0ex}}\begin{array}{ll}{\left(-\Delta )}^{s}u=\lambda u+f\left(x,u),\hspace{1.0em}& \hspace{0.1em}\text{in}\hspace{0.1em}\hspace{0.33em}\Omega ,\\ u=0,\hspace{1.0em}& \hspace{0.1em}\text{in}\hspace{0.1em}\hspace{0.33em}{{\mathbb{R}}}^{N}\backslash \Omega \right.\end{array}\right. Multiplicity of nontrivial solutions is obtained when the parameter is near the eigenvalue of the fractional Laplace operator without Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz condition for the nonlinearity. Our methods are the combination of minimax method, bifurcation theory, and Morse theory.
