We study the periodic and the Neumann boundary value problems associated with the second order nonlinear differential equation u'' + c u' + λ a(t) g(u) = 0, where g:[0,+∞[→[0,+∞[ is a sublinear function at infinity having superlinear growth at zero. We prove the existence of two positive solutions when ∫a(t)dt<0 and λ > 0 is sufficiently large. Our approach is based on Mawhin's coincidence degree theory and index computations.

Abstract

We study the periodic and the Neumann boundary value problems associated with the second order nonlinear differential equation u'' + c u' + λ a(t) g(u) = 0, where g:[0,+∞[→[0,+∞[ is a sublinear function at infinity having superlinear growth at zero. We prove the existence of two positive solutions when ∫a(t)dt<0 and λ > 0 is sufficiently large. Our approach is based on Mawhin's coincidence degree theory and index computations.
