A Multiplicity result for a class of strongly indefinite asymptotically linear second order systems
2010
We prove a multiplicity result for a class of strongly indefinite nonlinear second order asymptotically linear systems with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The key idea for the proof is to bring together the classical shooting method and the Maslov index of the linear Hamiltonian systems associated to the asymptotic limits of the given nonlinearity.
Multiplicity results for asymmetric boundary value problems with indefinite weights
2004
We prove existence and multiplicity of solutions, with prescribed nodal properties, to a boundary value problem of the formu″+f(t,u)=0,u(0)=u(T)=0. The nonlinearity is supposed to satisfy asymmetric, asymptotically linear assumptions involving indefinite weights. We first study some auxiliary half-linear, two-weighted problems for which an eigenvalue theory holds. Multiplicity is ensured by assumptions expressed in terms of weighted eigenvalues. The proof is developed in the framework of topological methods and is based on some relations between rotation numbers and weighted eigenvalues.
Multiplicity of solutions for asymptotically linear $n$-th order boundary value problems
2007
In this paper we investigate existence and multiplicity of solutions, with prescribed nodal properties, to a two-point boundary value problem of asymptotically linear $n$-th order equations. The proof follows a shooting approach and it is based on the weighted eigenvalue theory for linear $n$-th order boundary value problems
