Abstract:

We prove the existence of three distinct nontrivial solutions for a class of semilinear elliptic variational inequalities involving a superlinear nonlinearity. The approach is variational and is based on linking and $\nabla$-theorems. Some non-standard adaptations are required to overcome the lack of the Palais-Smale condition.

Keywords: Semilinear elliptic variational inequalities, Linking theorems, $\nabla$-theorems, Local Palais-Smale condition
