## Twin solutions to singular Dirichlet problems.(English)Zbl 0946.34022

The authors consider the Dirichlet second-order boundary value problem $y''+ \phi(t)[g(y(t))+ h(y(t))]= 0,\quad 0< t< 1,\quad y(0)= y(1)= 0,\tag{1}$ and establish the existence of two solutions $$y_1,y_2\in C[0,1]\cap C^2(0, 1)$$ with $$y_1> 0$$, $$y_2> 0$$ on $$(0,1)$$. The nonlinearity in (1) may be singular at $$y= 0$$, $$t= 0$$ and/or $$t= 1$$.
