“…In the last decade or so, as a useful method to obtain the existence or multiplicity results, Ricceri's Variational Principle has been extended and used widely to study many problems including: Kirchhoff-type problems ( [1,12,15,19,20,26]), problems with impulsive effect ( [6,11,21,29]), fractional differential equations ( [27,32]), p-Laplacian or p(x)-Laplacian equations ( [2-4, 13, 14, 16]), Yamabe equations ( [9]), superlinear discrete problems ( [8]), non-differential functionals ( [5,7,22]), and many other problems (see [17,25,30] and the references therein).…”
