A celebrated result by Amann, Ambrosetti and Mancini [1] implies the connectedness of the region of existence for some parameter-depending boundary value problems which are resonant at the first eigenvalue. The analogous thing does not hold for problems which are resonant at the second eigenvalue.

We prove the existence of a solution for a semilinear boundary value problem at resonance in the first eigenvalue. The nonlinearity is assumed to be bounded below or above; no further growth restrictions are assumed.

This paper is concerned with the existence of solutions for the discrete second-order boundary value problemΔ2u(t-1)+λ1u(t)+g(Δu(t))=f(t),t∈{1,2,…,T},u(0)=u(T+1)=0, whereT>1is an integer,f:{1,…,T}→R,g:R→Ris bounded and continuous, andλ1is the first eigenvalue of the eigenvalue problemΔ2u(t-1)+λu(t)=0,t∈T,u(0)=u(T+1)=0.

We study the following boundary value problem with a concave–convex nonlinearity: [Formula: see text] Here Ω ⊂ ℝnis a bounded domain and 1 < q < p < r < p*. It is well known that there exists a number Λq, r> 0 such that the problem admits at least two positive solutions for 0 < Λ < Λq, r, at least one positive solution for Λ = Λq, r, and no positive solution for Λ > Λq, r. We show that [Formula: see text] where λ1(p) is the first eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian. It is worth noticing that λ1(p) is the threshold for existence/nonexistence of positive solutions to the above problem in the limit case q = p.
