Existence of three solutions for a Kirchhoff-type boundary-value problem
Electronic journal of differential equations, Tome 2011 (2011)
In this note, we establish the existence of two intervals of positive real parameters

$\displaylines{ -K\big(\int_{a}^b |u'(x)|^2dx\big)u''=\lambda f(x,u),\cr u(a)=u(b)=0 }$

admits three weak solutions whose norms are uniformly bounded with respect to $\lambda$ belonging to one of the two intervals. Our main tool is a three critical point theorem by Bonanno.
