Multiple solution, Kirchhoff Equation, numerical solutionsAbstract
A nonlinear boundary value problem related to an equation of Kirchhoff type is considered. The existence of multiple positive solutions is proved through Avery-Peterson Fixed Point Theorem. A numerical method based on Levenberg-Marquadt algorithm combined with a heuristic process is present in order to align numerical and theoretical aspects.
