\section{Introduction}

In this article, we consider the boundary-value problem
\begin{equation}\label{j1}
\begin{gathered}
{}_tD_T^{\alpha}(_0D_t^{\alpha}u(t))\in \lambda \partial F(u(t))
+\mu \partial G(u(t))\quad\text{a.e. } t\in[0,T],  \\
u(0)=u(T)=0,
\end{gathered}
\end{equation}
where $_0D_t^{\alpha}$ and $_tD_T^{\alpha}$
are the left and right Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives of order
$\alpha$ with $0<\alpha\leq1$, and where $\lambda>0$ and $\mu\geq0$ are
two parameters.  $F,G : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ are locally
Lipschitz functions,  where $F(\omega)=\int_0^{\omega}f(s)ds$,
$G(\omega)=\int_0^{\omega}g(s)ds$, $\omega\in\mathbb{R}$ and
 $f,g:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ are locally essentially bounded functions.
$\partial F(u(t))$ denotes the generalized Clarke
gradient of the function $F (u(t))$ at $u\in\mathbb{R}$.

We consider the following  problem: Find $u\in E_0^{\alpha}[0,T]$,
called a \emph{weak solution} of \eqref{j1}, such that  for any
$v\in E_0^{\alpha}[0,T]$, we have
\begin{equation}\label{t2}
\int_0^{T}[_0D_t^{\alpha}u(t)\cdot _0D_t^{\alpha}v(t)]dt
=\lambda\int_0^{T}u^{\ast}_1(t)v(t)dt+\mu\int_0^{T}u^{\ast}_2(t)v(t)dt,
\end{equation}
where  $u^{\ast}_1(t)\in \partial F(u(t))$ and
$u^{\ast}_2(t)\in \partial G(u(t))$.
Fractional differential problems were studied by many authors, see for example
\cite{Bisci1,Bisci2,Pucci,Zhang}.
Recently, fractional differential inclusions were considered by many authors:
Ahamd et al.\ \cite{Ahmad}  studied the existence of solutions for impulsive
fractional differential inclusions with anti-periodic boundary conditions.
Ntouyas et al.\  \cite{Ntouyas}  studied the existence of solutions for
boundary value problems for nonlinear fractional differential inclusions with
mixed type integral boundary conditions.
More recently, the study of differential equations by variational
method and critical point theory has attracted a lot of attention;
see for example  \cite{Li,Radulescu1,Rad2,Radu3}.
Variational-hemivariational inequalities have been extensively studied
in recent years via variational methods; see \cite{Ali,Carl,Clar,Ian,Radu33}.

Here, we investigate the existence of infinitely many solutions for a fractional
differential inclusion under some  hypotheses on the behavior of the
locally Lipschitz functions $F$ and $G$ in theorem \ref{m1}.
We prove the existence of infinitely many solutions
for a variational-hemivariational inequality depending on two parameters.
Also, we  list some consequences of theorem \ref{m1} and give an  example.
Finally,  we consider the uniform convergence of a  sequence of solutions
to zero  in theorem \ref{y5}.

\section{Preliminaries}

In this section,  first we recall some basic definitions of
fractional calculus and locally Lipschitz functions.

\begin{definition}[\cite{Kilbas}] \label{def2.1}\rm
Let $f$ be a function defined on $[a, b]$.
The left and right Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals of order $\alpha$
of $f$ are denoted by
$_aD_t^{-\alpha}f(t)$ and $_tD_{b}^{-\alpha}f(t)$, respectively, and defined by
\begin{gather*}
{}_aD_t^{-\alpha}f(t)=\frac{1}{\Gamma(\alpha)}\int_a^{t}(t-s)^{\alpha-1}f(s)ds,
\quad t\in[a,b],\;\alpha>0, \\
{}_tD_{b}^{-\alpha}f(t)=\frac{1}{\Gamma(\alpha)}\int_t^{b}(s-t)^{\alpha-1}f(s)ds,
\quad t\in[a,b],\;\alpha>0,
\end{gather*}
provided the right-hand sides are pointwise defined on $[a, b]$, where
$\Gamma(\alpha)$ is the gamma function.
\end{definition}

 \begin{definition}[\cite{Kilbas}] \label{def2.2}\rm
Let $f$ be a function defined on $[a, b]$. For $n-1\leq\alpha<n\;(n\in\mathbb{N})$,
the left and right Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives of order $\alpha$
for function $f$ denoted by
$_aD_t^{\alpha}f(t)$ and $_tD_{b}^{\alpha}f(t)$, respectively, are defined by
\begin{gather*}
{}_aD_t^{\alpha}f(t)=\frac{d^{n}}{dt^{n}}\,_aD_t^{\alpha-n}f(t)
= \frac{1}{\Gamma(n-\alpha)}\frac{d^{n}}{dt^{n}}\int_a^{t}
(t-s)^{n-\alpha-1}f(s)ds,\quad t\in[a,b],\\
{}_tD_{b}^{\alpha}f(t)=(-1)^{n}\frac{d^{n}}{dt^{n}}\,_tD_{b}^{\alpha-n}f(t)
= \frac{(-1)^{n}}{\Gamma(n-\alpha)}\frac{d^{n}}{dt^{n}}\int_a^{t}
(s-t)^{n-\alpha-1}f(s)ds,\; t\in[a,b].
\end{gather*}
\end{definition}

\begin{proposition}[\cite{Kilbas,Samko}] \label{prop2.3}
We have the following property of fractional integration
\begin{equation}\label{d0}
\int_a^{b}[_aD_t^{-\alpha}f(t)]g(t)dt=\int_a^{b}[_tD_{b}^{-\alpha}g(t)]f(t)dt,
\quad \alpha>0,
\end{equation}
provided that  $f\in L^{p}([a,b],\mathbb{R}^{N})$,
$g\in L^{q}([a,b],\mathbb{R}^{N})$ and $p\geq1$, $q\geq1$,
$\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}\leq 1+\alpha$ or $p\neq1$, $q\neq1$,
$\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}= 1+\alpha$.
\end{proposition}

\begin{definition}[\cite{Kilbas,Podlubny}] \label{def2.4} \rm
For $n \in \mathbb{N}$, $n-1\leq\alpha<n$ $(n\in\mathbb{N})$ and
a function $f\in AC^{n}([a,b],\mathbb{R}^{N})$, we define
\begin{gather*}
{}_aD_t^{\alpha}f(t)=\frac{1}{\Gamma(n-\alpha)}
\int_a^{t}\frac{f^{(n)}(s)}{(t-s)^{\alpha+1-n}}ds
+\Sigma_{j=0}^{n-1}\frac{f^{j}(a)}{\Gamma(j-\alpha+1)}(t-a)^{j-\alpha},
\\
{}_tD_{b}^{\alpha}f(t)=\frac{1}{\Gamma(n-\alpha)}\int_t^{b}
\frac{f^{(n)}(s)}{(s-t)^{\alpha+1-n}}ds+\Sigma_{j=0}^{n-1}
\frac{(-1)^{j}f^{j}(b)}{\Gamma(j-\alpha+1)}(b-t)^{j-\alpha},
\end{gather*}
where $t\in[a,b]$.
\end{definition}

\begin{definition}[\cite{Kilbas,Podlubny}] \label{def2.5}
Let $0 < \alpha\leq1$. The fractional derivative space $E_0^{\alpha}[0,T]$
is defined as the closure of $C_0^{\infty} ([0, T ], \mathbb{R})$ with respect
to the norm
$$
\|u\|_{\alpha}=\Big(\int_0^{T}| _0D_t^{\alpha}u(t)|^{2}dt
+\int_0^{T}| u(t)|^{2}dt\Big)^{1/2},\quad \forall u\in E_0^{\alpha}[0,T].
$$
\end{definition}

Clearly, the fractional derivative space $E_0^{\alpha}[0,T]$
is the space of functions
$u \in L^{2} [0, T ]$ having an $\alpha-$order fractional derivative
$ _0D_t^{\alpha}u(t)\in L^{2}[0, T ]$ and $u(0) =u(T ) = 0$.

\begin{proposition}[\cite{Jiao}] \label{prop2.6}
Let $0 < \alpha\leq1$. The fractional derivative space $E_0^{\alpha}[0,T]$
is
reflexive and separable Banach space.
\end{proposition}


\begin{proposition}[\cite{Jiao}]\label{b0}
Let $0 < \alpha\leq1$. Then for all $u\in E_0^{\alpha}[0,T]$,
\begin{gather}\label{f0}
\|u\|_{L^{2}}\leq\frac{T^{\alpha}}{\Gamma(\alpha+1)}\| _0D_t^{\alpha}u(t)\|_{L^{2}},\\
\label{f1}\|u\|_{\infty}\leq\frac{T^{\alpha-\frac{1}{2}}}{\Gamma(\alpha)(2(\alpha-1)
+1)^{1/2}}\| _0D_t^{\alpha}u(t)\|_{L^{2}}.
\end{gather}
\end{proposition}

According to \eqref{f0}, one can consider $E_0^{\alpha}[0,T]$
with the equivalent norm
$$
\|u\|_{\alpha}=\Big(\int_0^{T}| _0D_t^{\alpha}u(t)|^{2}dt\Big)^{1/2}
= \|_0D_t^{\alpha}u\|_{L^{2}},\quad \forall u\in E_0^{\alpha}[0,T].
$$

\begin{definition}\label{b1} \rm
A function $u:[0,T] \to \mathbb{R}$ is called a solution for \eqref{j1} if
\begin{itemize}
\item[(1)] $_tD_T^{\alpha-1}(_0D_t^{\alpha}u(t))$ and
 $ _0D_t^{\alpha-1}u(t)$ exist for almost all $t \in [0,T ]$;

\item[(2)] $u$ satisfies in \eqref{j1}.
\end{itemize}
\end{definition}

\begin{definition} \label{def2.9} \rm
A function  $u\in E_0^{\alpha}[0,T]$ is called a weak solution of \eqref{j1}
 if there exist $u^{\ast}_1(x)\in\partial F(u)$,
$u^{\ast}_2(x)\in\partial G(u)$,  such that
$u^{\ast}_1v,\;u^{\ast}_1v \in L^{1}[0,T]$ and
\begin{equation}\label{f2}
\int_0^{T}[_0D_t^{\alpha}u(t)\cdot{}_0D_t^{\alpha}v(t)]dt
=\lambda\int_0^{T}u^{\ast}_1(x)v(x)dx
+\mu\int_0^{T}u^{\ast}_2(x)v(x)dx,
\end{equation}
for all $v\in E_0^{\alpha}[0,T]$.
\end{definition}

For $\alpha>1/2$, propositions \ref{b0} and \ref{b1}, imply that
$$
\|u\|_{\infty}\leq \mathcal{M}\Big(\int_0^{T}| _0D_t^{\alpha}u(t)|^{2}dt\Big)^{1/2}
=\mathcal{M}\|u\|_{\alpha},\quad u\in E_0^{\alpha}[0,T],
$$
where
$$
\mathcal{M}=\frac{T^{\alpha-\frac{1}{2}}}{\Gamma(\alpha)(2(\alpha-1)+1)^{1/2}}.
$$
Here, we recall some  definitions and basic notation of the theory of generalized
differentiation for locally Lipschitz functions.  We refer the reader
to \cite{Carl, Clar, Mot1,pan2,Radulescu1} for more details.
Let $X$ be a Banach space and $X^{\star}$ its topological dual. By
 $\|\cdot\|$ we denote the norm in $X$ and by $\langle \cdot,\cdot\rangle_{X}$ the
duality brackets for the pair $(X,X^{\star})$.
 A function $h : X \to \mathbb{R}$ is said to be locally Lipschitz
if for any $x\in X$ there correspond a neighborhood
$V_{x}$ of $x$ and a constant $L_{x}\geq0$  such that
 $$
|h(z)-h(w)|\leq L_{x} \|z-w\|, \forall z,w \in V_{x}.
$$
For a locally \emph{Lipschitz} function $h : X \to \mathbb{R}$, the generalized
directional derivative of $h$ at $u \in X$ in
the direction $\gamma \in X$ is defined  by
$$
h^{0}(u;\gamma)=\limsup_{w\to u,t\to 0^{+}}\frac{h(w+t\gamma)-h(w)}{t}.
$$
The generalized gradient of $h$ at $u \in X$ is
$$
\partial h(u)=\{x^{\star}\in X^{\star}: \langle x^{\star},\gamma\rangle_{X}
\leq h^{0}(u;\gamma),\;\forall \gamma\in X\},
$$
which is  non-empty, convex and $w^{\star}$-compact subset of
$X^{\star}$, where $<\cdot,\cdot\rangle_{X}$ is the duality pairing
between $X^{\star}$ and $X$.

\begin{proposition}[\cite{Clar}] \label{d1}
Let $h,g: X \to \mathbb{R}$ be locally Lipschitz functionals.
Then, for any $u,v \in X$ the following  hold:
\begin{itemize}
\item[(1)]  $h^{0}(u;\cdot)$ is subadditive, positively homogeneous;
\item[(2)]  $\partial h$ is convex and weak$^{\ast}$ compact;
\item[(3)] $(-h)^{0}(u;v)=h^{0}(u;-v)$;
\item[(4)]   the set-valued mapping $h: X \to 2^{X^{\ast}}$ is
weak$^{\ast}$ u.s.c.;
\item[(5)] $h^{0}(u;v)=\max\{<\xi,v>:\xi\in\partial h(u)\}$;
\item[(6)] $\partial(\lambda h)(u)=\lambda \partial h(u)$ for every
$\lambda\in \mathbb{R}$;
\item[(7)]  $(h+g)^{0}(u;v)\leq h^{0}(u;v)+g^{0}(u;v)$;
\item[(8)]  the function $m(u)=\min_{\nu\in\partial h(u)}\nu_{X^{\ast}}$
exists and is lower semicontinuous; i.e.,
$\liminf_{u\to u_0} m(u)\geq m(u_0)$;
\item[(9)] $h^{0}(u;v)=\max_{u^{\ast}\in\partial h(u)}\langle
u^{\ast},v\rangle \leq L\|v\|$.
\end{itemize}
\end{proposition}

\begin{definition}[\cite{Ian}] \label{x1}\rm
 An element $u\in X$ is called a critical point for functional $h$ if
 $$
h^{0}(u;v-u)\geq 0,\quad \forall v\in X.
$$
\end{definition}

Let $X$ be a reflexive real Banach space, $\Phi: X \to \mathbb{R}$  a
sequentially weakly lower semicontinuous  and coercive,
$\Upsilon: X \to \mathbb{R}$  a sequentially weakly upper semicontinuous,
$\lambda$  a positive real parameter.
 Moreover, assumeing  that $\Phi$ and $\Upsilon$ are locally Lipschitz  functionals,
we set $ \mathcal{L}_{\lambda}:=\Phi-\lambda\Upsilon$.
For every $r>\inf_{X}\Phi$, we define
\begin{gather*}
\varphi(r):=\inf_{u\in \Phi^{-1}(]-\infty,r[)}
\frac{\big(\sup_{v\in \Phi^{-1}(]-\infty,r[)}\Upsilon(v)\big)-\Upsilon(u)}{r-\Phi(u)},
\\
\gamma:=\liminf_{r\to+\infty}\varphi(r),\quad
\delta:=\liminf_{r\to (\inf_{X} \Phi)^{+}}\varphi(r).
\end{gather*}
First, we need to the following  non-smooth version of a critical
point theorem.

\begin{theorem}[\cite{Mara}] \label{n1}
Under the assumptions stated for $X$, $\Phi$ and $\Upsilon$, the following statements
hold:
\begin{itemize}
\item[(a)] For any $r > \inf_{X} \Phi$ and
 $\lambda\in (0,\frac{1}{\varphi(r)})$, the restriction of the
functional $ \mathcal{L}_{\lambda}=\Phi-\lambda\Upsilon $
to $\Phi^{-1}(-\infty,r)$ admits a global minimum which is a critical
point (local minimum) of $\mathcal{L}_{\lambda}$
in $X$.

\item[(b)] If $\gamma < +\infty$, then for each
$\lambda\in (0,\frac{1}{\gamma})$, the following alternative holds: either
\begin{itemize}
\item[(b1)]    $\mathcal{L}_{\lambda}$ possesses a global minimum, or
\item[(b2)]  there is a sequence $\{u_n\}$ of critical points (local minima)
of $\mathcal{L}_{\lambda}$ such that
$$
\lim_{n\to+\infty} \Phi(u_n)=+\infty.
$$
\end{itemize}
\item[(c)] If $\delta < +\infty$, then for each
 $\lambda\in (0,\frac{1}{\delta})$, the following alternative holds: either
\begin{itemize}
\item[(c1)] there is a global minimum of $\Phi$ which is a local minimum of
$\mathcal{L}_{\lambda}$,  or
\item[(c2)] there is a sequence $\{u_n\}$ of pairwise distinct critical
 points (local minima) of $\mathcal{L}_{\lambda}$
that converges weakly to a global minimum of $\Phi$.
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{theorem}


\section{Main results}
Set
\begin{align*}
C(T,\alpha)&=\frac{16}{T^{2}}\Big(\int_0^{T/4}t^{2(1-\alpha)}dt
 +\int_{T/4}^{3T/4}(t^{1-\alpha}-(t-\frac{T}{4})^{1-\alpha})^{2}dt\\
&\quad +\int_{\frac{3T}{4}}^{T}(t^{1-\alpha}-(t-\frac{T}{4})^{1-\alpha}
-(t-\frac{3T}{4})^{1-\alpha})^{2}dt\Big).
\end{align*}
and
 $$
A:=\liminf_{\omega\to+\infty}\frac{\max_{|x|\leq \omega}F(x)}{\omega^{2}},\quad
B:=\limsup_{\omega\to+\infty}\frac{F(\omega)}{\omega^{2}}.
$$

\begin{theorem}\label{m1}
Let $\frac{1}{2}<\alpha\leq1.$ Assume
\begin{itemize}
\item[(i)] that  $A<\frac{B}{\mathcal{M}^{2}C(T,\alpha)}$
and  $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ is a locally essentially bounded
function such that $F(t)=\int_0^{t}f(\xi)d\xi$ for all $t\in\mathbb{R}$.
\end{itemize}
then, for each ${\lambda}\in (\lambda_1,\lambda_2)$, where
\[
\lambda_1=\frac{C(T,\alpha)}{BT},\quad
\lambda_2=\frac{1}{\mathcal{M}^{2}TA},
\]
and for any locally essentially bounded function $g:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$
whose potential $G(t)=\int_0^{t}g(\xi)d\xi$ for all $t\in\mathbb{R}$ is
a non-negative function satisfying the condition
\begin{equation}\label{h1}
G_{\infty}=\limsup_{\omega\to+\infty}
\frac{\max_{|x|\leq\omega}G(x)}{\omega^{2}}<+\infty
\end{equation}
and for any $\mu \in [0, \mu_{G,\lambda})$, where
$$
\mu_{G,\lambda}=\frac{1}{\mathcal{M}^{2}TG_{\infty}}(1-\lambda\mathcal{M}^{2} T A).
$$
Then  problem \eqref{j1} has a sequence of weak solutions for every
$\mu \in [0, \mu_{G,\lambda})$.
\end{theorem}

\begin{proof}
Our purpose is to apply theorem \ref{n1}(b).
 Fix $\bar{\lambda}\in (\lambda_1,\lambda_2)$ and
$G$ satisfying our assumptions. Since $\bar{\lambda}<\lambda_2$,
it implies that
$$
\mu_{G,\bar{\lambda}}=\frac{1}{\mathcal{M}^{2}TG_{\infty}}(1-\bar{\lambda}\mathcal{M}^{2} T A)>0.
$$
Fix  $\bar{\mu}\in [0,\mu_{G,\bar{\lambda}})$
and define the functionals $\Phi,\Upsilon:X\to\mathbb{R}$ for each
$u \in X$ as follows:
\begin{gather}\label{l0}
\Phi(u)=\frac{1}{2}\|u\|^{2}_{\alpha}\\
\label{r111}
 \Upsilon(u)=\int_0^{T}[F(u(t))]dt
+\frac{\bar{\mu}}{\bar{\lambda}}\int_0^{T}[G(u(t))]dt.
\end{gather}
Put $\mathcal{L}_{\bar{\lambda}}(u):=\Phi(u)-\bar{\lambda}\Upsilon$.
The critical points of the functional
$\mathcal{L}_{\bar{\lambda}}$
are the weak solutions of problem \eqref{j1}.
According to  \cite{Jiao}, $\Phi$ is continuous and convex, so it is weakly
sequentially lower semicontinuous, also $\Phi$ is
continuously G\^{a}teaux differentiable and coercive. By standard argument,
$\Upsilon$ is sequentially weakly continuous.

 First, we claim that $\bar{\lambda}<1/\gamma$.
Note that $\Phi(0) = \Upsilon(0) = 0$, then for $n$ large  enoughlarge,
\begin{align*}
\varphi(r)&=\inf_{u\in \Phi^{-1}(]-\infty,r[)}
\frac{\big(\sup_{v\in \Phi^{-1}(]-\infty,r[)}\Upsilon(v)\big)-\Upsilon(u)}
{r-\Phi(u)}\\
&\leq \frac{\sup_{ v\in \Phi^{-1}(]-\infty,r[)}\Upsilon(v)}{r}.
\end{align*}
Let $\{\omega_n\}$  be a sequence of
positive numbers in $X$ such that $\lim_{n\to+\infty}\omega_n=+\infty$ and
$$
A=\lim_{n\to+\infty}\frac{\max_{|x|\leq \omega_n}F(x)}{\omega_n^{2}}.
 $$
Set
$$
r_n=\frac{\omega_n^{2}}{\mathcal{M}^{2}},\;  n\in \mathbb{N}.
$$
 Hence,
\begin{align*}
\varphi(r_n)
&\leq\frac{\max_{|x|\leq \omega_n}T[F(x)
 +\frac{\bar{\mu}}{\bar{\lambda}}G(x)]}{\frac{\omega_n^{2}}{\mathcal{M}^{2}}}\\
&\leq  \mathcal{M}^{2}T\frac{\max_{|x|\leq \omega_n}[F(x)
 +\frac{\bar{\mu}}{\bar{\lambda}}G(x)]}{\omega_n^{2}} \\
&\leq \mathcal{M}^{2}T\Big[ \frac{\max_{|x|\leq \omega_n}F(x)}{\omega_n^{2}}
+\frac{\bar{\mu}}{\bar{\lambda}}\frac{\max_{|x|
\leq \omega_n}G(x)}{\omega_n^{2}}\Big].
\end{align*}
Moreover, from  assumption (i) and the condition \eqref{h1},
it follows that
$$
\frac{\max_{|x|\leq \omega_n}F(x)}{\omega_n^{2}}
+\frac{\bar{\mu}}{\bar{\lambda}}
\frac{\max_{|x|\leq \omega_n}G(x)}{\omega_n^{2}}<+\infty.
$$
Then
$$
\gamma\leq\liminf_{n\to+\infty}\varphi(r_n)
\leq \mathcal{M}^{2}T(A+\frac{\bar{\mu}}{\bar{\lambda}}G_{\infty})<+\infty.
$$
It is clear that, for any $\bar{\mu}\in [0,\mu_{G,\bar{\lambda}})$,
$$
\gamma\leq \mathcal{M}^{2}TA+
\frac{(1-\bar{\lambda}\mathcal{M}^{2}TA)}{\bar{\lambda}};
$$
therefore,
$$
\bar{\lambda}=\frac{1}{\mathcal{M}^{2}TA+
(1-\bar{\lambda}\mathcal{M}^{2}A)/\bar{\lambda}}<\frac{1}{\gamma}.
$$
We claim that the functional
$\mathcal{L}_{\bar{\lambda}}$
is unbounded from below.
We can consider a sequence $\{\tau_n\}$ of positive numbers
 such that $\tau_n\to+\infty$. Let $\{\xi_n\}$ be a sequence in
$X$ for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$, defined by
\begin{equation}\label{e11}
\xi_n(t)=\begin{cases}
\frac{4\Gamma(2-\alpha)\tau_n}{T}t & t\in[0,\frac{T}{4}]\\
\Gamma(2-\alpha)\tau_n& t\in[\frac{T}{4},\frac{3T}{4}]\\
 \frac{4\Gamma(2-\alpha)\tau_n}{T}(T-t)& t\in[\frac{3T}{4},T],
\end{cases}
\end{equation}
Clearly, $\xi_n(0)=\xi_n(T)=0$ and $\xi_n\in L^{2}[0,T]$. A direct
calculation shows that
\begin{equation}\label{e2}
{}_0D^{\alpha}_t\xi_n(t)=\begin{cases}
\frac{4\tau_n}{T}t^{1-\alpha}& t\in[0,\frac{T}{4})\\
\frac{4\tau_n}{T}(t^{1-\alpha}-(t-\frac{T}{4})^{1-\alpha})
& t\in[\frac{T}{4},\frac{3T}{4}]\\
 \frac{4\tau_n}{T}(t^{1-\alpha}-(t-\frac{T}{4})^{1-\alpha}
-(t-\frac{3T}{4})^{1-\alpha})& t\in(\frac{3T}{4},T].
\end{cases}
\end{equation}
Moreover,
\begin{equation}\label{r00}
\begin{aligned}
&\int_0^{T}(_0D^{\alpha}_t\xi_n(t))^{2}dt \\
&=\int_0^{T/4}+\int_{T/4}^{3T/4}
+\int_{\frac{3T}{4}}^{T}(_0D^{\alpha}_t\xi_n(t))^{2}dt \\
&=\frac{16\tau_n^{2}}{T^{2}}\Big(\int_0^{T/4}t^{2(1-\alpha)}dt
 +\int_{T/4}^{3T/4}(t^{1-\alpha}-(t-\frac{T}{4})^{1-\alpha})^{2}dt\\
&\quad +\int_{\frac{3T}{4}}^{T}(t^{1-\alpha}-(t-\frac{T}{4})^{1-\alpha}
-(t-\frac{3T}{4})^{1-\alpha})^{2}dt\Big)\\
=C(T,\alpha)\tau_n^{2},
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
for each $n \in \mathbb{N}$. Thus, $\xi_n\in E_0^{\alpha}[0,T]$.

Since $G$ is non-negative and by the definition of $\Upsilon$, we have
\begin{equation}\label{a4}
\begin{aligned}
\Upsilon(\xi_n)
&= {\int_0^{T}[F(\xi_n(t)) +\frac{\bar{\mu}}{\bar{\lambda}}G(\xi_n(t)]dt}
\geq \int_0^{T}F(\xi_n(t))dt \\
&\geq\int_{T/4}^{3T/4}F(\xi_n(t))dt
 \geq F(\Gamma(2-\alpha)\tau_n)\int_{T/4}^{3T/4}dt.
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
Let \begin{equation}\label{o00}
B=\limsup_{\omega\to+\infty}\frac{F(\omega)}{\omega^{2}}.
\end{equation}
 If $B<+\infty$, set
$\epsilon\in(0,B-\frac{C(T,\alpha)}{\lambda \Gamma^{2}(2-\alpha)T})$. Then
 from \ref{o00} there exists $N_1$ such that
$$
\int_{T/4}^{3T/4}F(\Gamma(2-\alpha)\tau_n)dt
>(B-\epsilon)\Gamma^{2}(2-\alpha)\tau_n^{2}\frac{T}{2},\quad\forall n>N_1.
$$
According to \eqref{r00}  and \eqref{a4},
\begin{equation}\label{u111}
\begin{aligned}
\mathcal{L}_{\bar{\lambda}}(\xi_n)
&\leq \frac{1}{2} C(T,\alpha)\tau_n^{2}-\bar{\lambda}(B-\epsilon)
 \Gamma^{2}(2-\alpha)\tau_n^{2}\frac{T}{2} \\
&=\tau_n^{2}(\frac{1}{2}C(T,\alpha)-\bar{\lambda}
 (B-\epsilon)\Gamma^{2}(2-\alpha)\frac{T}{2}),
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
for $n>\mathbb{N}_1$.
Choosing a suitable $\epsilon$  and $\lim_{n\to+\infty}\tau_n=+\infty$,
it results that
$$
\lim_{n\to+\infty}\mathcal{L}_{\bar{\lambda}}(\xi_n)=-\infty.
$$
If $B=+\infty$, we fix $\nu>\frac{C(T,\alpha)}{\lambda \Gamma^{2}(2-\alpha)T}$
and  from \ref{o00} there exists $N_{\nu}$ such that
$$
\int_{T/4}^{3T/4} F(\Gamma(2-\alpha)\tau_n)dt
>\nu \Gamma^{2}(2-\alpha)\tau_n^{2}\frac{T}{2},\quad \forall  n>N_{\nu}.
$$
Hence,
$$
\mathcal{L}_{\bar{\lambda}}(\xi_n)
 \leq \frac{1}{2}C(T,\alpha)\tau_n^{2}-\bar{\lambda}F(\Gamma(2-\alpha)
\tau_n\int_{T/4}^{3T/4}dt<\tau_n^{2}(\frac{1}{2}C(T,\alpha)
-\bar{\lambda}\nu\Gamma^{2}(2-\alpha)\frac{T}{2}),
$$
for all $n>N_{\nu}$.
Taking into account the choice of $\nu$, it leads to
$\lim_{n\to+\infty}\Phi(u_n)-\bar{\lambda}\Psi(u_n)=-\infty$.
Hence, the functional $\mathcal{L}_{\bar{\lambda}}$ is unbounded from below, and
it follows that $\mathcal{L}_{\bar{\lambda}}$
has no global minimum.
Therefore, applying theorem \eqref{n1}
 there exists a sequence $\{u_n\} \in X$ of critical points of
$\mathcal{L}_{\bar{\lambda}}$
such that
$\lim_{n\to+\infty}\Phi(u_n)=+\infty$.
From \eqref{l0} it follows that $\sqrt[2]{\Phi(u_n)}=\|u_n\|_{\alpha}$ such that
$\lim_{n\to+\infty}\|u_n\|_{\alpha}=+\infty$.
\end{proof}

\begin{lemma}\label{b3}
Every critical point $u\in E_0^{\alpha}[0,T]$ of $\mathcal{L}_{\lambda}$ 
is a solution of problem \eqref{j1}.
\end{lemma}

 \begin{proof}
We  suppose  that $u\in E_0^{\alpha}[0,T]$ is a critical point of
$\mathcal{L}_{\lambda}$. There exist $u^{\ast}_1\in\partial F(u)$ and
$u^{\ast}_2\in\partial G(u)$ satisfying
\begin{equation}\label{e0}
\int_0^{T}( _0D_t^{\alpha}u(t)\cdot{}_0D_t^{\alpha}v(t))dt
-\lambda \int_0^{T} u^{\ast}_1(t)v(t)dt -\mu \int_0^{T} u^{\ast}_2(t)v(t)dt=0,                   \end{equation}
for all  $v\in E_0^{\alpha}[0,T]$.
Since $u^{\ast}_1 v,u^{\ast}_2 v \in L^{1}([0,T],\mathbb{R}^{N})$, it follows that
 $_tD^{-\alpha}_Tu^{\ast}_1$, $_tD^{-\alpha}_Tu^{\ast}_2\in L^{1}([0,T],
\mathbb{R}^{N})$.

Set $k_1(t)={}_tD^{-\alpha}_Tu^{\ast}_1(t)$ and
$k_2(t)=\;_tD^{-\alpha}_Tu^{\ast}_2(t), t\in[0,T]$. From the definition of left and
right Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives
\begin{align*}
&\int_0^{T}(k_1(t)\cdot{}_0D_t^{\alpha}v(t))dt+\int_0^{T}(k_2(t)\cdot{}
_0D_t^{\alpha}v(t))dt \\
&=\int_0^{T}(_tD_T^{-\alpha}u^{\ast}_1(t)\cdot{} _0D_t^{\alpha}v(t))dt
 +\int_0^{T}(_tD_T^{-\alpha}u^{\ast}_2(t)\cdot {}_0D_t^{\alpha}v(t))dt \\
&=\int_0^{T}(u^{\ast}_1(t)\cdot \;_0D_t^{-\alpha}(\;_0D_t^{\alpha}v(t)))dt
+\int_0^{T}(u^{\ast}_2(t)\cdot \;_0D_t^{-\alpha}(\;_0D_t^{\alpha}v(t)))dt \\
&=\int_0^{T}(u^{\ast}_1(t)\cdot v(t))dt+\int_0^{T}(u^{\ast}_2(t)\cdot v(t))dt.
\end{align*}
From \eqref{e0},
\begin{equation}\label{e1}
\begin{aligned}
&\int_0^{T}( _0D_t^{\alpha}u(t)-\lambda  k_1(t)
-\mu   k_2(t))\cdot  _0D_t^{\alpha}v(t))dt \\
&=\int_0^{T}\Big( \;_tD_T^{\alpha-1}( _0D_t^{\alpha}u(t)-\lambda  k_1(t)
-\mu   k_2(t))\cdot  v'(t)\Big)dt =0,
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
for all $v\in C_0^{\infty}([0,T],\mathbb{R}^{N})$.
Using the argument in \cite{Jiao1} we obtain
  $$
_tD_T^{\alpha-1}( _0D_t^{\alpha}u(t)-\lambda  k_1(t)-\mu   k_2(t))
=C,\quad  \forall t\in[0,T].
$$
In view of  $u^{\ast}_1,u^{\ast}_2\in L^{1}([0,T],\mathbb{R}^{N})$, we
identify the equivalence class $_tD_T^{\alpha-1}( _0D_t^{\alpha}u(t))$ and
its continuous representative
\begin{equation}\label{e2b}
{}_tD_T^{\alpha-1}( _0D_t^{\alpha}u(t))
=\lambda\int_t^{T}u^{\ast}_1(t)dt+\mu\int_t^{T}u^{\ast}_2(t)dt+C,\quad
\forall t\in[0,T].
\end{equation}
By properties of  the  left and right Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives,
we have $_tD_T^{\alpha}( _0D_t^{\alpha}u(t))=-(_tD_T^{\alpha-1}
( _0D_t^{\alpha}u(t)))'\in L^{1}([0,T],\mathbb{R}^{N})$.
Hence, it follows from \eqref{e2}, that
$$
{}_tD_T^{\alpha}( _0D_t^{\alpha}u(t))
=\lambda u^{\ast}_1(t)+\mu u^{\ast}_2(t), \quad\textrm{a.e. }t\in [0,T].
$$
Moreover, $u\in E_0^{\alpha}[0,T]$ implies that $u(0) = u(T ) = 0$.
\end{proof}

\begin{remark} \label{rmk3.3} \rm
Under the following two conditions
\[
\liminf_{\omega\to+\infty}\frac{\max_{|x|\leq \omega}F(x)}{\omega^{2}}=0,\quad
\limsup_{\omega\to+\infty}\frac{F(\omega)}{\omega^{2}}=+\infty,
\]
according to Theorem \ref{m1}, for each $\lambda> 0$ and each
 $\mu\in[0,\frac{1}{\mathcal{M}^{2}TG_{\infty}}[$,   problem
\eqref{j1}  admits infinitely many solutions in $E_0^{\alpha}[0,T]$.
In addition, if $G_{\infty} = 0$, the result holds for
every $\lambda> 0$  and $\mu\geq 0$.
\end{remark}


\subsection*{Example}
Let $\{a_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ and $\{b_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$
 be sequences defined by
$$
a_n=ne^{n},\quad b_n=(n+1)e^{n}.
$$
We define a sequence of  non-negative functions
\begin{equation} \label{e3.13}
F_n(x)=\begin{cases}
(|x|+n)^{2}\exp\big(-|\frac{1}{((|x|-ne^{e}-e^{n})^{2}-(e^{2n}))}|\big)
& ne^{n}<|x|<(n+2)e^{n}\\
0 & \text{otherwise}.
\end{cases}
\end{equation}
A direct computation shows that
$$
\lim_{n\to+\infty}\frac{\max_{|x|\leq a_n}F_n(x)}{a_n^{2}}=0,\quad
\lim_{n\to+\infty}\frac{F_n(b_n)}{b_n^{2}}<+\infty.
$$
Then Theorem \ref{m1}, implies that  for any non-negative  function
$g : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} $, whose potential $G(\omega)=\int_0^{\omega}g(t)dt$
satisfies the condition \eqref{h1},
problem \eqref{j1} possesses a sequence of  solutions.
\smallskip

An immediate consequence of theorem \ref{m1} is a special case when $\mu = 0$.

\begin{theorem}\label{thm3.4}
Assume that the assumptions in theorem \ref{m1} hold. Then, for each
$$
\lambda\in \Big]\frac{C(T,\alpha)}{T\limsup_{\omega\to+\infty}
\frac{F(\omega)}{\omega^{2}}},\frac{1}{\mathcal{M}^{2}T
\liminf_{\omega\to+\infty}\frac{\max_{|x|\leq \omega}F(x)}{\omega^{2}}} \Big[,
$$
the problem
$$
{}_tD_T^{\alpha}(_0D_t^{\alpha}u(t))\in \lambda \partial F(u(t))\quad
\textrm{a.e. }t\in[0,T],
$$
has an unbounded sequence of solutions in $E_0^{\alpha}[0,T]$.
\end{theorem}

\begin{theorem}\label{y1}
 Let $l_1 : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be  a locally essentially bounded
function and denote $L_1(x) =\int_0^{x}l_1(s)ds$ for all $s\in \mathbb{R}$.
 Suppose that
\begin{itemize}
\item[(i1)] $\liminf_{\omega\to+\infty}\frac{L_1(\omega)}{\omega^{2}}
<+\infty$,
\item[(i2)] $\limsup_{\omega\to+\infty}\frac{L_1(\omega)}{\omega^{2}}=+\infty$.
\end{itemize}
Then, for any  locally essentially bounded functions
 $l_{i}: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ for $2 \leq i \leq n$ such that
\begin{itemize}
\item[(i3)] $\max\big\{\sup_{\omega\in\mathbb{R}}L_{i}(\omega);2
\leq i \leq n \big\}\leq0$ and

\item[(i4)] $\min\big\{\liminf_{\omega\to+\infty}
\frac{L_{i}(\omega)}{\omega^{2}};2 \leq i \leq n \big\}>-\infty$,
where $L_{i} (x) =\int_0^{x}l_{i}(s)ds$, $x \in \mathbb{R}$, $2 \leq i \leq n$,
for each
$$
\lambda\in \Big]0,\frac{1}{\mathcal{M}^{2}T
\liminf_{\omega\to+\infty}\frac{L_1(\omega)}{\omega^{2}}} \Big[
$$
and for any  locally essentially bounded function $g : \mathbb{R }\to \mathbb{R}$
(whose potential $G(x) =\int_0^{x}g(s)ds$ for every $x \in \mathbb{R}$)
satisfying \eqref{h1},  and for every $\mu\in[0,\mu_{G,\lambda}[$, where
$$
\mu_{G,\lambda}=\frac{1}{\mathcal{M}^{2}TG_{\infty}}
(1-\lambda \mathcal{M}^{2}T 
\liminf_{\omega\to+\infty}\frac{L_1(\omega)}{\omega^{2}}),
$$
\end{itemize}
then the problem
$$
{}_tD_T^{\alpha}(_0D_t^{\alpha}u(t))\in \lambda \partial
\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}L_{i}(u(t))+\mu \partial G(u(t))\quad\text{a.e. }
t\in[0,T],\;u(0)=u(T)=0,
$$
admits an unbounded sequence of solutions in $E_0^{\alpha}[0,T]$.
\end{theorem}

 \begin{proof}
Set $F(x)=\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}L_{i}(x)$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$.
In  view of (i2) and (i4),
$$
\limsup_{\omega\to+\infty}\frac{F(\omega)}{\omega^{2}}
=\limsup_{\omega\to+\infty}\frac{\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}L_{i}(\omega)}{\omega^{2}}=+\infty.
$$
Conditions (i1) and (i3) imply that
$$
\liminf_{\omega\to+\infty}\frac{\max_{|x|\leq \omega}F(x)}{\omega^{2}}
\leq \liminf_{\omega\to+\infty}\frac{L_1(\omega)}{\omega^{2}}<+\infty.
$$
By using theorem \ref{m1}, we complete the proof.
\end{proof}

\noindent \begin{theorem}\label{y5}
 Let $f$ be  a locally essentially bounded function and suppose that
\begin{equation}\label{y0}
\liminf_{\omega\to0^{+}}\frac{F(\omega)}{\omega^{2}}
<\frac{1}{\mathcal{M}^{2}C(T,\alpha)}
\limsup_{\omega\to0^{+}}\frac{F(\omega)}{\omega^{2}}.
\end{equation}
Then for any $\lambda\in\Lambda_1:=]\lambda_3,\lambda_4[$, where
$$
\lambda_3=\frac{C(T,\alpha)}{T\limsup_{\omega\to0^{+}}
\frac{F(\omega)}{\omega^{2}}},\quad
\lambda_4=\frac{1}{\mathcal{M}^{2}T\liminf_{\omega\to0^{+}}
\frac{F(\omega)}{\omega^{2}}},
$$
and for any $g:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$  such that
\begin{equation}\label{v0}
G_0=\limsup_{\omega\to0^{+}}\frac{\max_{|x|\leq\omega}G(x)}{\omega^{2}}
<+\infty
\end{equation}
and
$$
\mu_{G,\lambda}^{1}=\frac{1}{\mathcal{M}^{2}TG_0}
(1-\lambda \mathcal{M}^{2}T \liminf_{\omega\to0^{+}}\frac{F(\omega)}{\omega^{2}})
$$
( $\mu_{G,\lambda}^{1}=+\infty$, when $G_0 = 0$).
Problem \ref{j1} has a sequence of solutions, which converges strongly
 to $0$ in $E_0^{\alpha}[0,T]$.
\end{theorem}

\begin{proof}
 Fix $\lambda\in \Lambda_1$ and pick $\mu \in [0, \mu_{G,\lambda}^{1}[$.
Suppose that $\Phi,\Upsilon$ are the functionals defined by
\eqref{l0} and \eqref{r111}.
Let $l_n$ be a sequence of positive numbers such that $\lim_{n\to\infty}l_n=0$ and
$$
\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{F(l_n)}{l_n^{2}}
=\liminf_{\omega\to 0^{+}}\frac{F(\omega)}{\omega^{2}}.
$$
As in theorem \ref{m1}, we set $r_n=\frac{l_n^{2}}{\mathcal{M}^{2}}$,
$n\in \mathbb{N}$. It follows that $\delta<+\infty$.
First we show that
\begin{equation}\label{u1}
\Phi-\lambda\Upsilon \text{ does not have a local minimum at zero}.
\end{equation}
Let $\{\theta_n\}$ be a sequence of positive numbers  such that
$\theta_n\to0$ in $]0,\theta[$, $\theta>0$ and $\{\xi_n\}$ be the sequence
 defined in \ref{e11}.
According to  the non-negativity of
$G$ it leads that  \ref{a4} satisfies.
 Using \ref{y0}, $\lambda_3<\lambda_4$. Let
$$
B_1=\limsup_{\omega\to 0^{+}}\frac{F(\omega)}{\omega^{2}}.$$
If $B_1<+\infty$, then \ref{u111} holds. By the choice of $\epsilon$,
$$
\lim_{n\to+\infty}(\Phi(\xi_n)-\lambda\Upsilon(\xi_n))<0
=\Phi(0)-\lambda\Upsilon(0).
$$
Therefore, $\Phi-\lambda\Upsilon$ does not have a local minimum at zero,
in view of fact that $\| \xi_n\|\to0$.

An argument similar to the one in the proof of theorem \ref{m1}
,for the case  $B_1=0$, imply   \ref{u1}. Since $\min_{X}\Phi=\Phi(0)$,
in view of theorem \ref{n1}(c) the consequence is obtained.
\end{proof}

Next we show  an application of theorem \ref{m1} for obtaining infinitely
many  solutions. Consider
\begin{equation}\label{f55}\
\begin{gathered}
{}_tD_T^{\alpha}(_0D_t^{\alpha}u(t))\in -\lambda \theta(t)\partial F(u)
-\mu \vartheta(t)\partial G(u)  \quad t\in[0,T]\\
u(0)=u(T)=0,
\end{gathered}
\end{equation}
where $\lambda,\mu $ are real parameters, $\lambda>0,\mu\geq 0$  and
$F,G:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ are locally Lipschitz functions  given by
$F(\omega)=\int_0^{\omega}f(t)dt$, $G(\omega)=\int_0^{\omega}g(t)dt$,
$\omega\in\mathbb{R}$ such that
$f,g:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ are measurable (not necessarily continuous) functions.
Moreover, $\theta,\vartheta\in L^{1}[0,T]$
and $\theta,\vartheta\geq0$ will given.
Our  result is stated as follows.

\begin{theorem}\label{m8}
Assume the following two conditions:
\begin{itemize}
\item[(i1')]
\[\liminf_{\omega\to+\infty}
\frac{\max_{|x|\leq \omega}F(x)}{\omega^{2}}
<\frac{\theta^{\ast}\limsup_{\omega\to+\infty}
\frac{F(\omega)}{\omega^{2}}}{\mathcal{M}^{2}C(T,\alpha)},
\]

\item[(i2')]
\[
\lambda_1=\frac{C(T,\alpha)}{T\theta^{\ast}\limsup_{\omega\to+\infty}
\frac{F(\omega)}{\omega^{2}}},\quad
\lambda_2=\frac{1}{T\mathcal{M}^{2}\liminf_{\omega\to+\infty}
\frac{\max_{|x|\leq \omega}F(x)}{\omega^{2}}},
\]
where $ \theta^{\ast}=\int_0^{T}\theta(t)dt$ and
$\vartheta^{\ast}=\int_0^{T}\vartheta(t)dt$.
\end{itemize}
Then for any $\mu \in [0, \mu_{G,\lambda})$,  problem \eqref{f55}
 has an unbounded sequence of  solutions in $E_0^{\alpha}[0,T]$.
\end{theorem}

\begin{proof}
Define the functionals $\Phi,\mathcal{E}:X\to\mathbb{R}$ for each $u \in X$
as follows:
\begin{gather*}
\Phi(u)=\frac{1}{2}\|u\|^{2}_{\alpha},\\
 \Upsilon(u)=\int_0^{T}\theta(t)F(u(t))dt
+\frac{\mu}{\lambda}\int_0^{T}\vartheta(t)G(u(t))dt,\\
\mathcal{E}(u)=\Upsilon(u)-\chi(u), \quad
\mathcal{L}_{\lambda}(u):=\Phi(u)-\lambda\mathcal{E}(u).
\end{gather*}
As in theorem \ref{m1}, we show that $\bar{\lambda}<\frac{1}{\gamma}$.  Note that
\begin{align*}
\varphi(r_n)
&\leq\frac{\max_{|x|\leq \omega_n}[\theta^{\ast}F(x)
+\frac{\bar{\mu}}{\bar{\lambda}}\vartheta^{\ast}G(x)]}
{\frac{\omega_n^{2}}{\mathcal{M}^{2}}} \\
&\leq  \mathcal{M}^{2}\frac{\max_{|x|\leq \omega_n}[\theta^{\ast}F(x)
 +\frac{\bar{\mu}}{\bar{\lambda}}\vartheta^{\ast}G(x)]}{\omega_n^{2}} \\
&\leq \mathcal{M}^{2}\Big[ \frac{\max_{|x|\leq \omega_n}
\theta^{\ast}F(x)}{\omega_n^{2}}+\frac{\bar{\mu}}{\bar{\lambda}}
\frac{\max_{|x|\leq \omega_n}\vartheta^{\ast}G(x)}{\omega_n^{2}}\Big],
\end{align*}
Therefore,
$$
\gamma\leq\liminf_{n\to+\infty}\varphi(r_n)
\leq \mathcal{M}^{2}(\theta^{\ast}A
+\frac{\bar{\mu}}{\bar{\lambda}}\vartheta^{\ast}G_{\infty})<+\infty.
$$
It is clear that, for every $\bar{\mu}\in [0,\mu_{G,\bar{\lambda}})$,
$$
\gamma\leq \mathcal{M}^{2}\theta^{\ast}A+\vartheta^{\ast}
\frac{(1-\bar{\lambda}\mathcal{M}^{2}TA)}{T\bar{\lambda}}.
$$
Then
$$
\bar{\lambda}=\frac{1}{\mathcal{M}^{2}\theta^{\ast}A
+\vartheta^{\ast}(1-\bar{\lambda}\mathcal{M}^{2}TA)
/T\bar{\lambda}}<\frac{1}{\gamma}.
$$
We claim that the functional $\mathcal{L}_{\bar{\lambda}}$ is unbounded
from below.

Since $G$ is non-negative,  from the definition of $\Upsilon$ we have
\begin{equation}\label{r0}
\begin{aligned}
 \Upsilon(u)
&=\int_0^{T}\theta(t)F(u(t))dt
 +\frac{\mu}{\lambda}\int_0^{T}\vartheta(t)G(u(t))dt\\
&\geq\int_{T/4}^{3T/4}\theta(t)F(\xi_n(t))dt \\
&\geq F(\Gamma(2-\alpha)\tau_n)\int_{T/4}^{3T/4}\theta(t)dt
=F(\Gamma(2-\alpha)\tau_n)\theta',
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
where $ \theta'=\int_{T/4}^{3T/4}\theta(t)dt$.
Set
\begin{equation}\label{o0}
B=\limsup_{\omega\to+\infty}\frac{F(\omega)}{\omega^{2}}.
\end{equation}
 If $B<+\infty$, let $\epsilon\in(0,B-\frac{C(T,\alpha)}
{2\lambda \theta'\Gamma^{2}(2-\alpha)})$, then from \ref{o0} there
exists $N_1$ such that
$$
\theta'F(\Gamma(2-\alpha)\tau_n)>\theta'(B-\epsilon)
\Gamma^{2}(2-\alpha)\tau_n^{2},\quad\forall n>N_1.
$$
According to \eqref{r0},
\begin{equation}\label{u0}
\begin{aligned}
\mathcal{L}_{\bar{\lambda}}(\xi_n)
&\leq \frac{1}{2}C(T,\alpha)\tau_n^{2}-\bar{\lambda}(\beta-\epsilon)
\theta'\Gamma^{2}(2-\alpha)\tau_n^{2}\\
&=\tau_n^{2}(\frac{1}{2}C(T,\alpha)-\bar{\lambda}(\beta-\epsilon)
\theta'\Gamma^{2}(2-\alpha)),
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
for $n>N_1$.
Choosing a suitable $\epsilon$  and using that $\lim_{n\to+\infty}\tau_n=+\infty$,
it results that
$$
\lim_{n\to+\infty}\mathcal{L}_{\bar{\lambda}}(\xi_n)=-\infty.
$$
If $B=+\infty$, we fix
$\nu>\frac{C(T,\alpha)}{2\bar{\lambda}\theta' \Gamma^{2}(2-\alpha)}$
and  from \ref{o0}, there exists $N_{\nu}$ such that
$$
\theta'F(\Gamma(2-\alpha)\tau_n)>\theta'\nu \Gamma^{2}(2-\alpha)\tau_n^{2},\quad
\forall n>N_{\nu}.
$$
Hence,
$$
\mathcal{L}_{\bar{\lambda}}(\xi_n)\leq \frac{1}{2}C(T,\alpha)\tau_n^{2}
-\bar{\lambda}\theta'F(\Gamma(2-\alpha)\tau_n)<\tau_n^{2}
(\frac{1}{2}C(T,\alpha)-\bar{\lambda}\theta'\nu\Gamma^{2}(2-\alpha)),
$$
for all $n>N_{\nu}$. Taking into account the choice of $\nu$, implies that
$\lim_{n\to+\infty}\Phi(u_n)-\bar{\lambda}\Psi(u_n)=-\infty$.
From theorem \ref{n1},   there is a sequence $\{u_n\} \in X$ of critical points
of $\mathcal{L}_{\bar{\lambda}}$ such that
$\lim_{n\to+\infty}\Phi(u_n)=+\infty$.
\end{proof}
