Multiplicity Result for Semilinear Dissipative Hyperbolic Equations* Wan Se Kim† Department of Mathematics, College of Natural Sciences, Hanyang Uni¨ ersity, Seoul 133-791, Korea Submitted by Jean Mawhin Received September 28, 1997
1. INTRODUCTION Let Zq, Z, R*, and R be the set of all positive integers, integers, nonnegative reals, and reals, respectively, and let V : R n, n G 1, be a bounded domain with smooth boundary V which is assumed to be of class C 2 . Let Q s Ž0, 2p . = V and L2 Ž Q . be the space of measurable Lebesgue square integrable real-valued functions on Q with usual inner product ² ? , ? : and corresponding norm 5 ? 5 2 . By H01 Ž V . we mean the completion of C01 Ž V . with respect to the norm 5 ? 5 1 defined by 5 f 5 12 s

This type of result, so-called an Ambrosetti]Prodi type result was initiated by Ambrosetti]Prodi w1x in 1972 in the study of a Dirichlet problem to elliptic equations and was developed in various directions by several authors to ordinary and partial differential equations. A notable discussion for AP type results for periodic and Dirichlet boundary value problems has been done by Fabry, Mawhin, and Nkashama w5x and Chiappinelli, Mawhin, and Nugari w3x, respectively, for second-order ordinary differential equations. For AP type results for periodic solutions of higher order ordinary differential equations, we refer to the results of Ding and Mawhin in w4x. AP type results for Lienard systems have been done by Kim w9x, and Hirano and Kim w8x. Lazer and Mckenna treated AP type multiplicity results for elliptic and parabolic equations in w11x. In w10x, AP type results for doubly periodic solutions of dissipative hyperbolic equations in one space dimension have been treated by Kim. In our result, we treat an AP type multiplicity result for Dirichlet-periodic solutions of semilinear dissipative hyperbolic equations in n-dimensional space. We assume the coercive growth on g with a restriction on the left hand and our proof based on Mawhin’s continuation theorem.

Hence ker L s kerŽ D q l1 I . s ker L* because D q l1 I is self-adjoint and kerŽ D q l1 I . is one-dimensional space generated by the eigenfunction f 1. Therefore L is a closed, densely defined linear operator and ImŽ L. s wker L x H ; i.e., L2 Ž Q . s ker L [ Im L. Let us consider a continuous projection P1: L2 Ž Q . ª L2 Ž Q . such that ker P1 s Im L. Then L2 Ž Q . s ker L [ ker P1. We consider another continuous projection P2 : L2 Ž Q . ª L2 Ž Q . defined by

Then we have L2 Ž Q . s Im P1 [ Im L, ker P2 s Im L, and L2 Ž Q .rIm L is an isomorphism to Im P2 . Because dimw L2 Ž Q .rIm L x s dimwIm P2 x s dimwker L x s 1, we have an isomorphism J: Im P2 ª ker L. By the closed graph theorem, the generalized right inverse of L defined by K s w L < Dom L l Im L x

then there exits a constant c ) 0 independent of h g Im L, u s Kh such that 5 Kh 5 Dom L F c 5 h 5 L2 . Therefore K: Im L ª Im L is continuous and by the compact imbedding of Dom L in L2 Ž Q ., we have that K: Im L ª Im L is compact. LEMMA 2.1. L is a closed, densely defined linear operator such that ker L s wIm L x H and such that the right in¨ erse K: Im L ª Im L is completely continuous.

Let G be any open bounded subset of L2 Ž Q ., then P2 Nsm : G ª L2 Ž Q . is bounded and K Ž I y P2 .: G ª L2 Ž Q . is compact and continuous. Thus Nsm is L-compact on G. The coincidence degree DLŽ L q Nsm, G . is well defined and constant in m if Lu q Nsm / 0 for m g w0, 1x, s g R, and u g Dom L l G. It is easy to check that Ž u, m . is a weak solution of Ž Esm . if and only if u g Dom L and Lu q Nsm u s 0.

Thus 5 u ˜n 5 L2 4 is bounded and thus 5 u n 5 L2 4 is bounded which leads to another contradiction. Remark.

Then u n s a n f Ž x . q u ˜n with a n g R and u˜n g Im L. By Lemma 3.1, we have a subsequence a n k 4 of a n4 which converges to some a in R. On the other hand, by Ž H1 ., Lemma 3.1, and the remark, we can see that Lu n k 4 is a bounded sequence in Im L ; L2 Ž Q .. Because K: Im L ª Im L is a compact operator, and ˜ yn k s K Ž Lu n k ., we have a subsequence, say again, u ˜n k 4 converging to u˜ in Dom L l Im L. Therefore, we have a subsequence u n k 4 of u n4 which converges to u s af q u ˜ with a g R and u˜ g Im L. Because L is closed operator, u g Dom L and u is a solution of Ž3.11s . for s s s1.
