Synopsis

We consider the nonlinear elliptic problem at resonance, Δu + λ1u + f(x, u) = h(x) in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a bounded smooth domain in ℝN, λl is the first eigenvalue of –Δ in Ω and h(x) is orthogonal to the first eigenfunction. We give some conditions of solvability in terms of the primitive of f with respect to u.
