Abstract

We study the multiplicity of solutions to the elliptic equation ∆u+ f(x, u) = 0, under the assumption that f(x, u)/u crosses globally but not pointwise any eigenvalue for every x in a part of the domain, when u varies from −∞ to ∞. Also we relax the conditions on uniform convergence of f(x, s)/s, which are essential in many results on multiplicity for asymptotically linear problems.
