Existence and non-existence of radially symmetric non-negative solutions for a class of semi-positone problems in an annulus
We study the boundary value problem −∆u(x) = λf(u(x)), R< |x| < Rˆ u(x)=0, |x| ∈ {R, Rˆ} where λ > 0, f(0) < 0 and f is superlinear. We prove existence of a radially symmetric non-negative solution for λ > 0 sufficiently small and nonexistence of such a solution for λ > 0 larg...

Summary: | We study the boundary value problem
−∆u(x) = λf(u(x)), R< |x| < Rˆ
u(x)=0, |x| ∈ {R, Rˆ}
where λ > 0, f(0) < 0 and f is superlinear. We prove existence of a radially symmetric
non-negative solution for λ > 0 sufficiently small and nonexistence of such a solution
for λ > 0 large.
