    The author examines the existence of solutions for the one-dimensional P-Laplacian superlinear equation under Neumann boundary conditions \(-[\psi (u^{\prime})]^{\prime}=\lambda \psi (u)+g(x,u)+h(x)\) where \(x\in (0,1).\) Recall that for \(p>1,\) we define \(\psi (s)=| s| ^{p-2}s\) if \(s\neq 0\) and \(\psi (0)=0.\) The function \(g\) satisfies \(\lim_{s\rightarrow -\infty }g(x,s)/\psi (s)=0\) while \(\lim_{s\to\infty}g(x,s)/\psi (s)=\infty.\) The author proves existence results when \(\lambda\) lies between the asymptotes of the second and third curve of the Fu\~{c}ik spectrum.
