By means of $\\nabla$-Theorems introduced by Marino and Saccon, we prove that at least three solution exists as soon as the parameter $\\lambda$ is sufficiently close to an eigenvalue of the operator $-\\Delta_g$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-03-16T09:18:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "schrödinger equations", "multiple solutions", "non-compact riemannian manifold", "semilinear elliptic equation", "sobolev embeddings" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
