TOPOLOGICAL APPROACH FOR THE MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS OF THE NONLINEAR PARABOLIC PROBLEM WITH VARIABLE COEFFICIENT JUMPING NONLINEARITY

Abstract

We get a theorem which shows that there exist at least two or three nontrivial weak solutions for the nonlinear parabolic boundary value problem with the variable coefficient jumping nonlinearity. We prove this theorem by restricting ourselves to the real Hilbert space. We obtain this result by approaching the topological method. We use the Leray-Schauder degree theory on the real Hilbert space.
