TY - JOUR T1 - On Positive Solutions for Semilinear Elliptic Equations with an Indefinite Nonlinearity Via Bifurcation JO - Journal of Partial Differential Equations VL - 2 SP - 133 EP - 150 PY - 2000 DA - 2000/05 SN - 13 DO - http://doi.org/ UR - https://global-sci.org/intro/article_detail/jpde/5502.html KW - Existence KW - bifurcation KW - a priori estimates KW - indefinite KW - maximum principles AB - Existence of a positive solution was establsihed via bifurcation theory for sernilinear elliptic boundary value problems. With the aid of maximum principles and a priori estimates, global behavior of the bifurcation curve was obtained. In particular, a general sufficient condition was given for existence of multiple positive solutions when the nonlinearity is sub-critical and indefinite.
