Abstract

In this paper, we establish fountain theorems over cones and apply it to the quasilinear elliptic problem
{ -Δp u =λ |u|q-2u +μ |uγ-2u,       x∈Ω,
 u = 0,                                             x∈∂Ω,                (1)
 to show that problem (1) possesses infinitely many solutions, where 1<p<N, 1< q <p < γ, Ω(RN is a smooth bounded domain and λ,μ∈R.
