Existence of multiple periodic solutions for semilinear parabolic equations with sublinear growth nonlinearities

Abstract

In this paper, we establish a multiple existence result of $T$-periodic solutions for the semilinear parabolic boundary value problem with sublinear growth nonlinearities. We adapt sub-supersolution scheme and topological argument based on variational structure of functionals.

Keywords: multiplicity, periodic solutions, semilinear parabolic equations, sublinear nonlinearity
