We consider the multiplicity of the solutions for the elliptic boundary value problem with $C^1$ nonlinear term decaying at the origin. We get a theorem which shows the existence of the nontrivial solution for the elliptic problem with $C^1$ nonlinear term decaying at the origin. We obtain this result by reducing the elliptic problem with the $C^1$ nonlinear term to the el-liptic problem with bounded nonlinear term and then approaching the variational method and using the mountain pass geometry for the reduced the elliptic problem with bounded nonlinear term.

We investigate the existence of weak solutions for the biharmonic boundary value problem with nonlinear term decaying at the origin. We get a theorem which shows the existence of nontrivial solutions for the biharmonic boundary value problem with nonlinear term decaying at the origin. We obtain this result by reducing the biharmonic problem with nonlinear term to the biharmonic problem with bounded nonlinear term and then approaching the variational method and using the mountain pass geometry for the reduced biharmonic problem with bounded nonlinear term.
