摘要

We prove some abstract multiplicity theorems that can be used to obtain multiple nontrivial solutions of critical growth p-Laplacian and (p, q)-Laplacian type problems. We show that the problems considered here have arbitrarily many solutions for all sufficiently large values of a certain parameter λ > 0. In particular, the number of solutions goes to infinity as λ → ∞. Moreover, we give an explicit lower bound on λ in order to have a given number of solutions. This lower bound is in terms of a sequence of eigenvalues constructed using the ℤ2-cohomological index. This is a consequence of the fact that our abstract multiplicity results make essential use of the piercing property of the cohomological index, which is not shared by the genus.
