“…Thus, u has at least k -1 zeros in (0, 1), and at most k zeros in ( Superlinear problems with classical boundary value conditions have been considered in many papers, particularly in the second and fourth order cases, with either periodic or separated boundary conditions, see for example [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] and the references therein. Specifically, the second order periodic problem is considered in [2,3], while [4][5][6][7] consider problems with separated boundary conditions, and results similar to Theorem 1.1 were obtained in each of these papers. The fourth order periodic problem is considered in [8][9][10].…”
