Then the linear part has two sequences of eigenvalues. Our results establish a relation between the position of the parameter $$$\lambda$$$ and the number of nontrivial classical solutions of these problems. The proof combines spectral analysis tools, variational methods and the Clark multiplicity theorem.}}
