Abstract

We prove that a certain two point BVP with jumping nonlinearities has a solution. Our result generalizes that of [2]. We use variational methods which permit giving a minimax characterization of the solution. Our proof exposes the similarities between the variational behavior of this problem and that of other semilinear problems with noninvertible linear part (see [5]).
