Nonzero radial solutions for a class of elliptic systems with nonlocal BCs on annular domains
We provide new results on the existence, non-existence, localization and
multiplicity of nontrivial solutions for systems of Hammerstein integral
equations. Some of the criteria involve a comparison with the spectral radii of
some associated linear operators. We apply our results to prove the existence
of multiple nonzero radial solutions for some systems of elliptic boundary
value problems subject to nonlocal boundary conditions. Our approach is
topological and relies on the classical fixed point index. We present an
example to illustrate our theory.Comment: 25 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1404.139
Multiple positive solutions to elliptic boundary blow-up problems
We prove the existence of multiple positive radial solutions to the
sign-indefinite elliptic boundary blow-up problem where is a function superlinear at zero and at infinity,
and are the positive/negative part, respectively, of a sign-changing
function and is a large parameter. In particular, we show how the
number of solutions is affected by the nodal behavior of the weight function
. The proof is based on a careful shooting-type argument for the equivalent
singular ODE problem. As a further application of this technique, the existence
of multiple positive radial homoclinic solutions to is also considered
