Multiple Solutions for a Semilinear Elliptic Equation with Critical Growth and Magnetic Field

Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with the multiplicity of nontrivial solutions for the following class of complex problems $$(-i\nabla - A(x))^2{u} = \mu|u|^{q-2}u + |u|^{2^*-2}u\, {\rm in}\, \Omega,\quad u=0\, {\rm on}\, \partial\, \Omega$$ where \({\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N(N \geq 4)}\) is a bounded domain with smooth boundary, \({A: \overline{\Omega} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^N}\) is a continuous magnetic potential and \({2 \leq q < 2^* = \frac{2N}{N-2}}\). Using the Lusternik-Schnirelman theory, we relate the number of solutions with the topology of Ω.
