We show the existence of nontrivial solutions for some fourth order elliptic boundary value problem with fully nonlinear term. We obtain this result by approaching the variational method and using a linking theorem. We also get a uniqueness result.

It is well known that a suspension bridge may display certain oscillations under external aerodynamic forces. Under the action of a strong wind, in particular, a narrow and very flexible suspension bridge can undergo dangerous oscillations. So it would be very contributive to determine under what conditions a similar situation cannot occur, and find out safe parameters of the bridge construction. In this paper, we investigate relations between the multiplicity of solutions and nonlinear terms in this suspension bridge equation using critical point theorem and linking theorem.

In this paper, we study the existence of ground state solutions for a class of non-resonant cooperative elliptic systems by a variant weak linking theorem. Here the classical Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz superquadratic condition is replaced by a general super quadratic condition.

We investigate the existence of solutions of the one-dimensional wave system $$u_{tt}-u_{xx}+{\mu}g(u+v)=f(u+v)\;\;in\;(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}){\times}R,\\v_{tt}-v_{xx}+{\nu}g(u+v)=f(u+v)\;\;in\;(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}){\times}R,$$ with Dirichlet boundary condition. We find them by applying linking inequlaities.

We show the existence of a nontrivial periodic solution for the superquadratic parabolic equation with Dirichlet boundary condition and periodic condition with a superquadratic nonlinear term at infinity which have continuous derivatives. We use the critical point theory on the real Hilbert space $L_2({\Omega}{\times}(0 2{\pi}))$. We also use the variational linking theorem which is a generalization of the mountain pass theorem.

Let $I{\in}C^{1,1}$ be a strongly indefinite functional defined on a Hilbert space H. We investigate the number of the critical points of I when I satisfies two pairs of Torus-Sphere variational linking inequalities and when I satisfies m ($m{\geq}2$) pairs of Torus-Sphere variational linking inequalities. We show that I has at least four critical points when I satisfies two pairs of Torus-Sphere variational linking inequality with $(P.S.)^*_c$ condition. Moreover we show that I has at least 2m critical points when I satisfies m ($m{\geq}2$) pairs of Torus-Sphere variational linking inequalities with $(P.S.)^*_c$ condition. We prove these results by Theorem 2.2 (Theorem 1.1 in [1]) and the critical point theory on the manifold with boundary.

We show the existence of the nontrivial periodic solution for a class of the system of the nonlinear suspension bridge equations with Dirichlet boundary condition and periodic condition by critical point theory and linking arguments. We investigate the geometry of the sublevel sets of the corresponding functional of the system, the topology of the sublevel sets and linking construction between two sublevel sets. Since the functional is strongly indefinite, we use the linking theorem for the strongly indefinite functional and the notion of the suitable version of the Palais-Smale condition.
