Consider the problem $-div($\mid$\bigtriangledown_u$\mid$^{p-2}\bigtriangledown_u) = $\mid$u$\mid$^{p^*-2}u + \lambda$\mid$u$\mid$^{q-2}u$ in B, u = 0 on $\partial B$; where $B \subset R^n$ is a ball, $\lambda < 0, 1 < p < n$ and $p^* = \frac{np}{n-p}$ is the critical Sobolev exponent. For given $\lambda > 0$, we show that there exists $k = k(\lambda) \in N$ such that any radial solutions to this problem have at most k noda curves when $p \leq q \leq p^* - 1$.

Three nontrivial nonnegative solutions for some critical quasilinear elliptic systems with lower-order negative perturbations are obtained by using the Ekeland's variational principle and the mountain pass theorem.

In this paper, we prove, in the spirit of [3, 12, 20, 22, 23], the existence of infinitely many small solutions to the following quasilinear elliptic equation $-{\Delta}_{p(x)}u+{\mid}u{\mid}^{p(x)-2}u={\mid}u{\mid}^{q(x)-2}u+{\lambda}f(x,u)$ in a smooth bounded domain ${\Omega}$ of ${\mathbb{R}}^N$. We also assume that $\{q(x)=p^*(x)\}{\neq}{\emptyset}$, where $p^*(x)$ = Np(x)/(N - p(x)) is the critical Sobolev exponent for variable exponents. The proof is based on a new version of the symmetric mountainpass lemma due to Kajikiya [22], and property of these solutions are also obtained.

Let $B_1$ be a unit ball in $R^n(n{\geq}3)$, and $2^*=2n/(n-2)$ be the critical Sobolev exponent for the embedding $H_0^1(B_1){\hookrightarrow}L^{2^*}(B_1)$. By using a variant of Pohoz$\check{a}$aev's identity, we prove the nonexistence of nodal solutions for the Dirichlet problem $-{\Delta}u-{\mu}\frac{u}{{\mid}x{\mid}^2}={\lambda}u+{\mid}u{\mid}^{2^*-2}u$ in $B_1$, u=0 on ${\partial}B_1$ for suitable positive numbers ${\mu}$ and ${\nu}$.

In this paper, we are concerned with the nonlinear elliptic equations of the p(x)-Laplace type $$\{\begin{array}{lll}-div(a(x,{\nabla}u))+{\mid}u{\mid}^{p(x)-2}u={\lambda}f(x,u) && in\;{\Omega}\\(a(x,{\nabla}u)\frac{{\partial}u}{{\partial}n}={\lambda}{\theta}g(x,u) && on\;{\partial}{\Omega},\end{array}$$ which is subject to nonlinear Neumann boundary condition. Here the function a(x, v) is of type${\mid}v{\mid}^{p(x)-2}v$ with continuous function $p:{\bar{\Omega}}{\rightarrow}(1,{\infty})$ and the functions f, g satisfy a $Carath{\acute{e}}odory$ condition. The main purpose of this paper is to establish the existence of at least three solutions for the above problem by applying three critical points theory due to Ricceri. Furthermore, we localize three critical points interval for the given problem as applications of the theorem introduced by Arcoya and Carmona.

We are concerned with the multiplicity of semiclassical solutions of the following Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger system involving critical nonlinearity and magnetic fields $$\{-({\varepsilon}{\nabla}+iA(x))^2u+V(x)u=H_u(u,v)+K(x)|u|^{2*-2}u,\;x{\in}\mathbb{R}^N,\\-({\varepsilon}{\nabla}+iB(x))^2v+V(x)v=H_v(u,v)+K(x)|v|^{2*-2}v,\;x{\in}\mathbb{R}^N,$$ where $2^*=2N/(N-2)$ is the Sobolev critical exponent and $i$ is the imaginary unit. Under proper conditions, we prove the existence and multiplicity of the nontrivial solutions to the perturbed system.

In this paper, our main purpose is to establish the existence of weak solutions of a weak solutions of a class of p-q-Laplacian system involving concave-convex nonlinearities: $$\{\array{-{\Delta}_pu-{\Delta}_qu={\lambda}V(x)|u|^{r-2}u+\frac{2{\alpha}}{\alpha+\beta}|u|^{\alpha-2}u|v|^{\beta},\;x{\in}{\Omega}\\-{\Delta}p^v-{\Delta}q^v={\theta}V(x)|v|^{r-2}v+\frac{2\beta}{\alpha+\beta}|u|^{\alpha}|v|^{\beta-2}v,\;x{\in}{\Omega}\\u=v=0,\;x{\in}{\partial}{\Omega}}$$ where ${\Omega}$ is a bounded domain in $R^N$, ${\lambda}$, ${\theta}$ > 0, and 1 < ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$, ${\alpha}+{\beta}=p^*=\frac{N_p}{N_{-p}}$ is the critical Sobolev exponent, ${\Delta}_su=div(|{\nabla}u|^{s-2}{\nabla}u)$ is the s-Laplacian of u. when 1 < r < q < p < N, we prove that there exist infinitely many weak solutions. We also obtain some results for the case 1 < q < p < r < $p^*$. The existence results of solutions are obtained by variational methods.

We deal with the existence of positive radial solutions concentrating on spheres for the following class of elliptic system $$\large(S) \hfill{400} \{\array{-{\varepsilon}^2{\Delta}u+V_1(x)u=K(x)Q_u(u,v)\;in\;\mathbb{R}^N,\\-{\varepsilon}^2{\Delta}v+V_2(x)v=K(x)Q_v(u,v)\;in\;\mathbb{R}^N,\\u,v{\in}W^{1,2}(\mathbb{R}^N),\;u,v&gt;0\;in\;\mathbb{R}^N,}$$ where ${\varepsilon}$ is a small positive parameter; $V_1$, $V_2{\in}C^0(\mathbb{R}^N,[0,{\infty}))$ and $K{\in}C^0(\mathbb{R}^N,[0,{\infty}))$ are radially symmetric potentials; Q is a $(p+1)$-homogeneous function and p is subcritical, that is, 1 < $p$ < $2^*-1$, where $2^*=2N/(N-2)$ is the critical Sobolev exponent for $N{\geq}3$.
