contents The paper deals with the existence and multiplicity of nontrivial solutions for the doubly elliptic problem $$\begin{cases} Δu=0 \qquad &\text{in $Ω$,}\\ u=0 &\text{on $Γ_0$,}\\ -Δ_Γu +\partial_νu =|u|^{p-2}u\qquad &\text{on $Γ_1$,} \end{cases} $$ where $Ω$ is a bounded open subset of $\mathbb{R}^N$ ($N\ge 2$) with $C^1$ boundary $\partialΩ=Γ_0\cupΓ_1$, $Γ_0\capΓ_1=\emptyset$, $Γ_1$ being nonempty and relatively open on $Γ$, $\mathcal{H}^{N-1}(Γ_0)>0$ and $p>2$ being subcritical with respect to Sobolev embedding on $\partialΩ$. We prove that the problem admits nontrivial solutions at the potential--well depth energy level, which is the minimal energy level for nontrivial solutions. We also prove that the problem has infinitely many solutions at higher energy levels.

The paper deals with the existence and multiplicity of nontrivial solutions for the doubly elliptic problem $$\begin{cases} Δu=0 \qquad &\text{in $Ω$,}\\ u=0 &\text{on $Γ_0$,}\\ -Δ_Γu +\partial_νu =|u|^{p-2}u\qquad &\text{on $Γ_1$,} \end{cases} $$ where $Ω$ is a bounded open subset of $\mathbb{R}^N$ ($N\ge 2$) with $C^1$ boundary $\partialΩ=Γ_0\cupΓ_1$, $Γ_0\capΓ_1=\emptyset$, $Γ_1$ being nonempty and relatively open on $Γ$, $\mathcal{H}^{N-1}(Γ_0)>0$ and $p>2$ being subcritical with respect to Sobolev embedding on $\partialΩ$. We prove that the problem admits nontrivial solutions at the potential--well depth energy level, which is the minimal energy level for nontrivial solutions. We also prove that the problem has infinitely many solutions at higher energy levels.
