Multiple Positive Solutions of Nonhomogeneous Elliptic Equations in Unbounded Domains

We will show that under suitable conditions on f and h, there exists a positive number λ∗ such that the nonhomogeneous elliptic equation −Δu+u=λ(f(x,u)+h(x)) in Ω, u∈H01(Ω), N≥2, has at least two positive solutions if λ∈(0,λ∗), a unique positive solution if λ=λ∗, and no positive solution if λ>λ∗...

description We will show that under suitable conditions on f and h, there exists a positive number λ∗ such that the nonhomogeneous elliptic equation −Δu+u=λ(f(x,u)+h(x)) in Ω, u∈H01(Ω), N≥2, has at least two positive solutions if λ∈(0,λ∗), a unique positive solution if λ=λ∗, and no positive solution if λ>λ∗, where Ω is the entire space or an exterior domain or an unbounded cylinder domain or the complement in a strip domain of a bounded domain. We also obtain some properties of the set of solutions.
