Abstract

The existence of one non-trivial solution for a nonlinear problem on compact d-dimensional () Riemannian manifolds without boundary, is established. More precisely, a recent critical point result for differentiable functionals is exploited, in order to prove the existence of a determined open interval of positive eigenvalues for which the considered problem admits at least one non-trivial weak solution. Moreover, as a consequence of our approach, a multiplicity result is presented, requiring the validity of the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz hypothesis. Successively, the Cerami compactness condition is studied in order to obtain a similar multiplicity theorem in superlinear cases. Finally, applications to Emden-Fowler type equations are presented.
