초록

We investigate the number of the nontrivial solutions of the nonlinear biharmonic equation with Dirichlet boundary condition. We give a theorem that there exist at least three nontrivial solutions for the nonlinear biharmonic problem. We prove this result by the finite dimensional reduction method and the shape of the graph of the corresponding functional on the finite reduction subspace.
