Multiplicity Results for Weak Solutions of a Semilinear Dirichlet Elliptic Problem with a Parametric Nonlinearity

This paper deals with the existence of weak solutions to a Dirichlet problem for a semilinear elliptic equation involving the difference of two main nonlinearities functions that depends on a real parameter λ. According to the values of λ, we give both nonexistence and multiplicity results by using...

description This paper deals with the existence of weak solutions to a Dirichlet problem for a semilinear elliptic equation involving the difference of two main nonlinearities functions that depends on a real parameter λ. According to the values of λ, we give both nonexistence and multiplicity results by using variational methods. In particular, we first exhibit a critical positive value such that the problem admits at least a nontrivial non-negative weak solution if and only if λ is greater than or equal to this critical value. Furthermore, for λ greater than a second critical positive value, we show the existence of two independent nontrivial non-negative weak solutions to the problem.
