Abstract

Under appropriate conditions, we prove that for two arbitrary solutions \(s_1 \) and \(s_2 \) of the Dirichlet problem lying between lower and upper functions there exists a continuous mapping \(z \) of the interval \([0,1] \) into the solution set of the Dirichlet problem such that \(z(0)=s_1 \) and \(z(1)=s_2 \).
