ABSTRACT
We study the existence of multiple sign-changing solutions of the problem where d > 0 is small enough, Î© is a domain in $${\mathbb{R}^{N}}$$ ( N â‰¥ 2) whose boundary is nonempty, compact and smooth and $${f \in C(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})}$$ is a function satisfying a subcritical growth condition. We give lower estimates of the number of the sign-changing solutions by the category of a set related to the configuration space $${\{(x,y)\in\partial\Omega\times\partial\Omega:x \neq y\}}$$ of the boundary âˆ‚Î©.

The reflection of weak shock waves has been reconsidered analytically using shock polars. Based on the boundary condition across the slipstream, the solutions of the three-shock theory (3ST) were classified as â€œstandard-3ST solutionsâ€ and â€œnonstandard-3ST solutions.â€ It...
