By combining the variational methods and saddle point reduction technique, we prove there exist at least three periodic solutions for arbitrary space dimension $n$. The structure of the spectrum of the linearized problem plays an essential role in the proof, and the construction of a suitable working space is devised to overcome the restriction of space dimension.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-10-02T08:19:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "multiple periodic solutions", "dimensional ball", "radially symmetric semilinear wave equation", "saddle point reduction technique", "space dimension" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
