Abstract

The Ambrosetti-Prodi boundary value problem with an asymptotically linear nonlinearity is considered. Under general conditions on the nonlinearity it is shown that there exist positive and negative solutions. In the case when the domain is a ball in Rn and the nonlinearity “crosses” the first n eigenvalues, corresponding to radial eigenfunctions, it is proved that there are at least n + 1 radial solution.
