Abstract

In this paper we first establish a nonuniqueness result for a semilinear Dirichlet problem of which the nonlinearity is of super-critical growth. We then apply this result to construct a Schridinger operator on a domain O such that the second eigenfunctions of this operator (with zero Dirichlet boundary data) have their nodal sets completely contained in the interior of the domain Ω.
