M. Musso et D. Passaseo, MULTIBUMP SOLUTIONS FOR A CLASS OF NONLINEAR ELLIPTIC PROBLEMS, Calculus of variations and partial differential equations, 7(1), 1998, pp. 53-86
The paper is concerned with a class of semilinear elliptic Dirichlet p
roblems approximating degenerate equations. By using variational metho
ds, it is proved that, if the degeneration set consists of k connected
components, then there exist at least 2(k) - 1 multibump positive sol
utions.
