Keywords:
semilinear elliptic equations; multiple solutions; shooting method; variational methods
Summary:
Given a semilinear elliptic boundary value problem having the zero solution and where the nonlinearity crosses the first eigenvalue, we perturb it by a positive forcing term; we show the existence of two solutions under certain conditions that can be weakened in the onedimensional case.
