| Abstract | We investigate the existence of nontrivial solutions of a nonlinear wave equation under Dirichlet boundary condition with jumping nonlinearity. We use the fact that the solutions of the equation coincide with the critical points of its corresponding dual functional. Here we apply the Mountain Pass Theorem to find the nontrivial solutions.
