Positive solutions of semi-linear elliptic problems via Krasnoselskii type theorems in cones and Harnack’s inequality

3 years ago

Abstract

In this paper a new version of Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem in cones, together with a global weak Harnack inequality for nonnegative superharmonic functions are used to investigate the existence of positive solutions of the Dirichlet problem for semi-linear elliptic equations.
