The paper deals with the following boundary value problem for the one-dimensional wave operator \[ u_{tt}-u_{xx}+g(u) = f(x,t) \text{ in } \left(-{\pi\over 2}, {\pi\over 2}\right)\times \mathbb{R}, \tag{1} \] \[ u(\pm{\pi\over 2},t)= 0, \tag{2} \] \[ u \text{ is \(\pi\)-periodic in \(t\) and even in \(x\), } \tag{3} \] where \(g(u) = bu^+ - au^-\). The authors investigate the relation between the multiplicity of solutions and the source term of the jumping problem under consideration. It is shown that (1)-(3) has infinitely many solutions when the source term is a positive multiple of the positive eigenfunction \(\phi_{00}\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0914.00066].
