Sketch of the Proof of Theorem A:<br />
Now suppose u4 is of one sign. Without loss of generality we can<br />
assume u4 ∈ S2. Let P be a subregion of S2 such that P ∩ K = {u2,u4}.<br />
From (0.3), (0.4), (0.12) and the excision property of Leray-Schauder<br />
degree it follows that<br />
−1 = d(∇J,S2,0)<br />
= dloc(∇J,u2) + dloc(∇J,u4) + d(∇J,S2 \ P,0)<br />
= −1 + (−1) k + d(∇J,S2 \ P,0).<br />
Hence, the existence property of the Leray-Schauder degree implies<br />
there must be another signed solution of (0.1).<br />
