摘要
We consider the boundary value problem involving the one-dimensional p-Laplacian (vertical bar u'vertical bar(p-2)u')' + a(x) f (u) = 0. o < x <1. u(0) = u(1) = 0. where p > 1. We establish sharp conditions for the existence of solutions with prescribed numbers of zeros in terms of the ratio f (s)/s(p-1) at infinity and zero. Our argument is based on the shooting method together with the qualitative theory for half-linear differential equations. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
