 Research

In my research, under the supervision of Prof. Fabio Zanolin, I deal with boundary value problems associated with second order nonlinear equations. The aim of my studies is to achieve existence and multiplicity results for positive solutions. As first step, I consider equations of the form u’’ + c u’ + a(x) g(u) = 0, where a(x) is an indefinite (i.e. sign-changing) weight function and g(s) satisfies suitable growth conditions at zero and at infinity. Using topological techniques I treat Dirichlet, Neumann, and periodic boundary value problems and consider different growth conditions on the nonlinear function g(s) . Moreover, the method provides a topological approach to detect infinitely many subharmonic solutions, to study globally defined positive solutions with complex behavior and to deal with chaotic dynamics. Furthermore, this innovative technique has the potential and the generality needed to deal with indefinite problems with more general differential operators, as in the case of problems involving PDEs.
