This paper is a continuation of Meng and Zhong in (Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst., Ser. B 19:217-230, 2014). We go on studying the property of the global attractor for some damped wave equation with critical exponent. The difference between this paper and Meng and Zhong in (Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst., Ser. B 19:217-230, 2014) is that the origin is not a local minimum point but rather a saddle point of the Lyapunov function F for the symmetric dynamical systems. Using the abstract result established in Zhang et al. in (Nonlinear Anal., Real World Appl. 36:44-55, 2017), we prove the existence of multiple equilibrium points in the global attractor for some wave equations under some suitable assumptions in the case that the origin is an unstable equilibrium point.
