Abstract:
Nonlinear equations of the form
where L is a linear
operator on a function space and g maps u to the composition
function
arise
in the theory of spontaneous combustion. If L is
invertible, such an equation can be written as a Hammerstein equation,
u=B[u] where
. To investigate the importance of
the growth rate of g and the sign and magnitude of
on the
number of solutions of such problems, in this paper we consider the
one-dimensional problem
where L(x)=ax.
