### Nodal solutions to problem with mean curvature operator in Minkowski space

#### Abstract

This paper is devoted to investigate the existence and multiplicity of radial nodal solutions for the following Dirichlet problem with mean curvature operator in Minkowski space \begin{eqnarray} \begin{cases} -\text{div} \Big (\frac{\nabla v}{\sqrt{1-\vert \nabla v\vert^2}} \Big ) = \lambda f(\vert x\vert,v)\,\, &\text{in}\,\, B_R(0),\\ v=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\,\,&\text{on}\,\, \partial B_R(0). \end{cases} \nonumber \end{eqnarray} By bifurcation approach, we determine the interval of parameter $\lambda$ in which the above problem has two or four radial nodal solutions which have exactly $n-1$ simple zeros in $(0,R)$ according to linear/sublinear/ superlinear nonlinearity at zero. The asymptotic behaviors of radial nodal solutions as $\lambda \to +\infty$ and $n \to +\infty$ are also studied.
