In this paper, we use the Mountain Pass theorem and the Fountain theorem to study the existence of solutions for the following
-triharmonic equations:
. where the nonlinear term satisfying growth conditions weaker than Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. We establish the existence of weak solutions using critical point theory and variational methods.
