On the existence of two solutions with a prescribed number of zeros for a superlinear two-point boundary value problem (Q1918515)

The authors continue their investigation of the solvability of boundary value problems associated with the second order differential equation (*) \(u' + f(u) = p(t,u,u')\), \(t \in [a,b]\), where no a priori bound for solutions may be proved. This fact requires a modification of the classical Leray-Schauder continuation technique. This modification was essentially established in the authors' paper published in [J. Differ. Equations 88, 347-395 (1990; Zbl 0718.34053)].
