Abstract

We prove existence results for semilinear elliptic boundary-value problems in both the resonance and non-resonance cases. What sets our results apart is that we impose sufficient conditions for solvability in terms of the (asymptotic) average values of the nonlinearities, thus allowing the nonlinear term to have significant oscillations outside the given spectral gap as long as it remains within the interval on the average in some sense. This work generalizes the results of a previous paper, which dealt exclusively with the ordinary differential equation (ODE) case and relied on ODE techniques.
