We investigate the multiplicity of the solutions for a class of the system of the biharmonic equations with some singular potential nonlinearity. We obtain a theorem which shows the existence of the nontrivial weak solution for a class of the system of the biharmonic equations with singular potential nonlinearity and Dirichlet boundary condition. We obtain this result by using variational method and the generalized mountain pass theorem.

We consider the nonlinear biharmonic equation with coefficient exponential growth term and Dirichlet boundary condition. We show that the nonlinear equation has at least one bounded solution under the suitable conditions. We obtain this result by the variational method, generalized mountain pass theorem and the critical point theory of the associated functional.

We investigate the existence of solutions of the nonlinear biharmonic equation with variable coefficient polynomial growth nonlinear term and Dirichlet boundary condition. We get a theorem which shows that there exists a bounded solution and a large norm solution depending on the variable coefficient. We obtain this result by variational method, generalized mountain pass geometry and critical point theory.

In this paper we investigate the existence of nontrivial solutions for the following fractional boundary value problem (FBVP) $$\{_tD_T^{\alpha}(_0D_t^{\alpha}u(t))={\nabla}W(t,u(t)),\;t{\in}[0,T],\\u(0)=u(T)=0,$$ where ${\alpha}{\in}(1/2,1)$, $u{\in}{\mathbb{R}}^n$, $W{\in}C^1([0,T]{\times}{\mathbb{R}}^n,{\mathbb{R}})$ and ${\nabla}W(t,u)$ is the gradient of W(t, u) at u. The novelty of this paper is that, when the nonlinearity W(t, u) involves a combination of superquadratic and subquadratic terms, under some suitable assumptions we show that (FBVP) possesses at least two nontrivial solutions. Recent results in the literature are generalized and significantly improved.
