Multiplicity results for a class of asymmetric weakly coupled systems of second-order ordinary differential equations

<p/> <p>We prove the existence and multiplicity of solutions to a two-point boundary value problem associated to a weakly coupled system of asymmetric second-order equations. Applying a classical change of variables, we transform the initial problem into an equivalent problem whose solut...
