Existence of solutions for the Dirichlet problem with superlinear nonlinearities Andrzej Nowakowski, Andrzej Rogowski (2003) Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal In this paper we establish the existence of nontrivial solutions to d d t L x ' ( t , x ' ( t ) ) + V x ( t , x ( t ) ) = 0 , x ( 0 ) = 0 = x ( T ) , with V x superlinear in x .
