Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study the existence and multiplicity of solutions for an impulsive differential equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one positive solution, and at least two positive solutions. Our approach is based on variational methods.
