4/2005 Non-radially Symmetric Solutions for a Superlinear Ambrosetti-Prodi Type Problem in a Ball
Djairo G. Figueiredo, P. N. Srikanth, Sanjiban Santra

Using a careful analysis of the Morse indices of the solutions obtained by using the Mountain Pass Theorem applied to the associated Euler-Lagrange functional acting both in the full space $H_0^1(\Omega)$ and in its subspace of radially symmetric functions we prove the existence of non-radially symmetric solutions of a problem of Ambrosetti-Prodi type in a ball.

3/2005 Asymptotically Linear Elliptic Problems in which the Nonlinearity Crosses at Least Two Eigenvalues
Francisco O. V. de Paiva

In this paper we establish the existence of multiple solutions for the semilinear elliptic problem\begin{eqnarray*}\begin{array}{ccl}-\Delta u = g(x,u) & {\rm in} & \Omega\\ u = 0\ \ & {\rm on} & \partial \Omega,\end{array}\end{eqnarray*}where $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ is a bounded domain with smooth boundary $\partial \Omega$, $g:\Omega\times\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ is a function of class $C^1$ such that $g(x,0)=0$ andwhich is asymptotically linear at infinity.

1/2005 A Bootstrap Test for the Expectation of Fuzzy Random Variables
M. D. Jiménez-Gamero, R. Pino-Mejías, Marko A. Rojas-Medar

We consider the problem of testing a single hypothesis about the expectation of a fuzzy random variable. For this purpose we take as test statistic a distance between the sample mean and the mean in the null hypothesis. We show that the test rejecting the null hypothesis for large values of the test statistic is consistent. We also prove that the bootstrap can be employed to consistently approximate the null distribution of the test statistic. Finally, we study the finite sample performance of the proposed approximation and compare it with others by means of a simulation study.
