Existence of multiple solutions for a p(x)-biharmonic equation

Lin Li, Ling Ding, Wen-Wu Pan

Abstract:
In this article, we show the existence of at least three solutions to a Navier boundary problem involving the p(x)-biharmonic operator. The technical approach is mainly base on a three critical points theorem by Ricceri.
