Abstract

The existence of at least two solutions for nonlinear equations close to semilinear equations at resonance is obtained by the degree theory methods. The same equations have no solutions if one slightly changes the right-hand side. The abstract result is applied to boundary value problems with specific nonlinearities.

Keywords

multiple solution, resonance, functional-differential equation
