Abstract
We study the following fourth-order elliptic equations: , where  is a bounded domain with smooth boundary  and  is asymptotically linear with respect to  at infinity. Using an equivalent version of Cerami's condition and the symmetric mountain pass lemma, we obtain the existence of multiple solutions for the equations.
