Abstract
We study solutions of the nonlinear Hammerstein integral equation with changing-sign kernels by using a variational principle of Ricceri and critical points theory techniques. Combining the effects of a sublinear and superlinear nonlinear terms we establish new existence and multiplicity results for the equation. As an application we consider a semi-linear Dirichlet problem for polyharmonic elliptic operators.
