A numerical investigation of sign-changing solutions to superlinear elliptic equations on symmetric domains

In this paper, we investigate numerically sign-changing solutions of superlinear elliptic equations on symmetric domains. Based upon the symmetric criticality principle of Palais, the existence of sign-changing solutions which re2ect the symmetry
