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
