Potential Landesman-Lazer type conditions and the Fucik spectrum

Petr Tomiczek

Abstract:
We prove the existence of solutions to the nonlinear problem
$$\displaylines{ u''(x)+\lambda_+ u^+(x)-\lambda_- u^-(x)+g(x,u(x))=f(x)\,,\quad x\in (0,\pi)\,,\cr u(0)=u(\pi)=0 } $$
where the point $[\lambda_+,\lambda_-]$ is a point of the Fucik spectrum and the nonlinearity $g(x,u(x))$ satisfies a potential Landesman-Lazer type condition. We use a variational method based on the generalization of the Saddle Point Theorem.
