This paper focuses on the following elliptic equationwhere the primitive function of f(x, u) is either superquadratic or asymptotically quadratic as |u| → ∞, or subquadratic as |u| → 0. By using variational method, e.g. the local linking theorem, fountain theorem, and the generalized mountain pass theorem, we establish the existence and multiplicity results for the periodic solution and subharmonic solution.
