A Seven-Positive-Solutions Theorem for a Superlinear Problem

From MaRDI portal





The authors obtain a multiplicity result for the boundary value problem \[ u(t)+(a_+(t)-\mu a_-(t))| u| ^{\gamma}u=0, \;u(0)=0,\;u(1)=0. \tag{1} \] The main theorem of the paper states that if \(\gamma >0\), and \(a_{\pm}:[0,1]\to \mathbb R\) are continuous functions such that for some \(0=\sigma_1 <\tau_1 <\sigma_2 <\tau_2 <\sigma_3 <\tau_3 =1\), \(a_+(t)\geq 0,\;a_+(t)\not\equiv 0\) and \(a_-(t)=0\) for \(t\in (\sigma_1 ,\tau_1)\cup (\sigma_2 ,\tau_2) \cup(\sigma_3 ,\tau_3)\), and \(a_-(t)\geq 0,\;a_-(t)\not\equiv 0\) and \(a_+(t)=0\) for \(t\in (\tau_1, \sigma_2 )\cup (\tau_2 ,\sigma_3 )\), then problem (1) has at least seven positive solutions for \(\mu >0\) large enough. The proof is based on a modified shooting method and some properties of the blow up solutions.
