P. Korman et T. Ouyang, EXACT MULTIPLICITY RESULTS FOR 2 CLASSES OF PERIODIC EQUATIONS, Journal of mathematical analysis and applications, 194(3), 1995, pp. 763-779
For two classes of first-order equations we study the exact multiplici
ty of periodic solutions. If the nonlinearity is a quadric in the unkn
own function, we give conditions for existence of exactly four solutio
ns. In another direction, we use bifurcation theory to derive exact mu
ltiplicity results for quadratic and cubic equations. (C) 1995 Academi
