This paper is concerned with the nonlinear Dirac equations
Under suitable assumptions on the nonlinearity, we establish the existence of infinitely many large energy solutions by the generalized variant fountain theorem developed recently by Batkam and Colin. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
