On a two-point boundary value problem of Duffing type equation with Dirichlet conditions (Q1807862)

The paper is devoted to the study of the following boundary value problem \[ u''+cu+g(t,u)=e(t),\qquad u(0)=u(\pi)=0. \] The authors obtain an existence and uniqueness result under suitable conditions on e and g. Their arguments are based on the application of a min-max theorem for \(C^{2}\) functionals.
