SynopsisIn the first part of the paper a variational characterisation of the periodic eigenvalues (the so-called Fučik spectrum) of a semilinear, positive homogeneous Sturm–Liouville equation is given. The proof relies on the S1-invariance of the equation.In the second part a nonlinear Sturm–Liouville equation with, typically, an exponential nonlinearity is considered. It is proved that under certain conditions this equation is solvable for arbitrary forcing terms. The proof uses a comparison of the minimax levels of the functional associated to this equation with suitable values in the Fučik spectrum.

In the first part of this paper, a variational characterization of parts of the Fučík spectrum for the Laplacian in a bounded domain Ω is given. The proof uses a linking theorem on sets obtained through a suitable deformation of subspaces of H1 (Ω). In the second part, a nonlinear Sturm–Liouville equation with Neumann boundary conditions on an interval is considered, where the nonlinearity intersects all but a finite number of eigenvalues. It is proved that, under certain conditions, this equation is solvable for arbitrary forcing terms. The proof uses a comparison of the minimax levels of the functional associated to this equation with suitable values related to the Fucík spectrum.

We construct the Fučik spectrum for some second order boundary value problem with nonlocal boundary condition. This spectrum differs essentially from the known Fučik spectra. We apply this result to the second order differential equation x'' + g(x) = f(t, x, x') with the conditions x(a) = 0, ∫ab x(s)ds = 0.
