Synopsis

This paper deals with some multiplicity results for elliptic problems with jumping nonlinearities. Our results are concerned with the case in which only one eigenvalue of the linear problem is jumped and it is simple. The main tool used is the Leray–Schauder topological degree. We consider a parametrized problem and prove the existence of two or three distinct solutions for suitable values of the parameter.
