โฆ Synopsis
We consider the boundary value problem =O, xE~(2, where f2 is a bounded region in ~" with smooth boundary Bu(x) = cth(x)u + (1 -ct)Ou/~n where c~ E [0, 1], h : ~I2 --~ ~+ with h = 1 when ~ = 1,)~ > 0,f is a smooth function such that f"(u) > 0 for u > O, f(u) < 0 for u E (0,fl) and f(u) > 0 for u > fl for some /3 > 0. We provide a simple proof to establish that every non-trivial nonnegative solution is unstable.

In this paper we study the existence of infinitely many solutions for a class of elliptic boundary value problems. The existence results include both superlinear case and an asymptotically linear case. Our arguments are based on a recently given new Fountain Theorem due to Zou [W. Zou, Variant Fount
