摘要
We obtain critical point variants of the compression fixed point theorem in cones of Krasnoselskii. Critical points are localized in a set defined by means of two norms. In applications to semilinear elliptic boundary value problems this makes possible the use of local Moser-Harnack inequalities for the estimations from below. Multiple solutions are found for problems with oscillating nonlinearity. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
