Remark on Duffing equation with Dirichlet boundary condition

Petr Tomiczek

Abstract:
In this note, we prove the existence of a solution to the semilinear second order ordinary differential equation
$$\displaylines{ u''(x)+ r(x) u'+g(x,u)=f(x)\,,\cr x(0)=x(\pi)=0\,, }$$
using a variational method and critical point theory.
