On the existence of three solutions for some classes of two-point semi-linear and quasi-linear differential equations (Q2196442)

The paper under review deals with the semi-linear boundary-value problem which consists the differential equation \[ u''(t)+\lambda f(u)=0\, t\in(0,1), \] and Dirichlet type boundary conditions \(u(0)=u(1)=0\). The author prove the existence of three solutions for this two-point boundary value problem in an appropriate Sobolev space. Furthermore, some existence results for a quasi-linear Dirichlet problem is obtained. The results in the paper can be considered as an extension and generalizations of results of the paper [\textit{G. Bonannao}, Appl. Math. Lett. 13, No. 5, 53--57 (2000; Zbl 1009.34019)].
