Further, \\(f=F'\\), where \\(F\\in C^1(\\mathbb {R},\\mathbb {R})\\) is non-negative, satisfies \\(F(-1)=F(1)=0\\) and \\(F>0\\) in \\((-1,1)\\). The case that \\(F\\) has only one critical point \\(0\\) in \\((-1,1)\\) is considered, that is  \\[  uf(u)<0 \\quad \\hbox {if}\\;0\\not = u\\in (-1,1).  \\]  First, the authors introduce Dirichlet boundary conditions in bounded intervals \\([-T,T]\\)  \\[  u(-T)=-1,\\quad u(T)=1, \\tag{2}  \\]  and for all \\(T\\) sufficiently large, they prove the existence of three solutions to problem (1), (2) provided \\( \\lim _{| t| \\to \\infty }a(t)=a_1,\\) \\(a(t)>a_1,\\) a.e. on some neighborhood of zero. Then, they consider \\(T\\to \\infty \\) and get the existence of heteroclinics of (1) connecting \\(\\pm 1\\). An asymptotically asymmetric case, where \\( | \\lim _{t\\to -\\infty }a(t)-\\lim _{t\\to \\infty }a(t)| \\) is a sufficiently small positive number, is studied, as well. Variational methods are used in the proofs."},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2026-01-17T18:39:56Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
