On the existence of positive solutions of quasilinear elliptic boundary value problems
by Kim, Eun Heui, Ph.D., The University of Connecticut, 1999, 54 pages; AAT 9930653

Abstract (Summary)

We establish the existence of a positive solution of a class of anisotropic singular quasilinear elliptic boundary value problems with certain nonlinearities. One example is: [Special characters omitted.] Here Ω is a bounded convex smooth domain in R 2 , a b ≥ 0, λ > 0, and r > 0.

If 0 < r < 1 (sublinear case), then (1) has a solution for all λ > 0. On the other hand, if r > 1 (superlinear case), then there exists a positive constant λ* such that for each λ ∈ (0, λ*], (1) has a positive solution.

Finally, we present some numerical results for some open theoretical questions for these types of problems.
