“…In 2000, Schechter [19] studied the existence of solutions of problem (1.1) when f is resonant with respect to Σ, i.e., the limits in (1.3) and (1.4) exist with (μ, ν) ∈ C l,1 or (μ, ν) ∈ C l,2 . Usually, such solvability conditions require that the ratio f (x,s) s stays asymptotically at infinity between two consecutive branches of Σ (see [2,5,10,11,[14][15][16][17][18][19] and the related references). In this paper, inspiring from [4], we obtain the existence of solutions of problem (1.1) by requiring that f is of linear growth at infinity and the ratio 2F (x,s) s 2 stays asymptotically at infinity away from the Fučík spectrum.…”
