Abstract: The paper provides a uniqueness result for positive solutions of the Neumann and periodic boundary value problems associated with the $phi$-Laplacian equation �egin{equation*} �igl{(} phi(u') �igr{)}' + a(t) g(u) = 0, end{equation*} where $phi$ is a homeomorphism with $phi(0)=0$, $a(t)$ is a stepwise indefinite weight and $g(u)$ is a continuous function. When dealing with the $p$-Laplacian differential operator $phi(s)=|s{|}^{p-2}s$ with $p>1$, and the nonlinear term $g(u)=u^{gamma}$ with $gammainmathbbR$, we prove the existence of a unique positive solution when $gammainmathopen]-infty,(1-2p)/(p-1)mathclose]cupmathopen]p-1,+inftymathclose[$.
