Abstract

Abstract : The purpose of this paper is mainly to investigate the existence of weak solutions of fractional Laplacian equations with sublinear growth and oscillatory behavior. By using variational methods and abstract critical point theory, we want to establish the existence of multiplicity positive, multiplicity negative, and in particular, of multiplicity sign changing solutions. The multiplicity results depend on the real parameter . The key point is the choice of the framework to study the existence of weak solutions. In the suitable framework, by verifying that the conditions in abstract critical point theory are satisfied, we are able to fulfill our strategy.
