An Existence Result for a Singular Semipositone Problem
by
Stephen Robinson

Coauthors: Maya Chhetri, UNCG

We consider the boundary value problem
-Du=fg(u)u-a in W,
u|W=0,
where W is a bounded domain, f is a positive function in L(W), 0 < a < 1, and g:[0, ∞)→ (-∞, ∞) is a bounded continuous function such that g(0) < 0 and such that g(s) is eventually positive for s > 0. Under suitable conditions on g we show that the problem has at least one positive solution.
