A minmax principle, index of the critical point, and existence of sign-changing solutions to elliptic boundary value problems

In this article we apply the minmax principle we developed in [6] to obtain sign-changing solutions for superlinear and asymptotically linear Dirichlet problems. We prove that, when isolated, the local degree of any solution given by this minmax principle is $+1$. By combining the results of [6] wit...
