We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions for sublinear Dirichlet periodic parabolic problemsLu=g(x,t,u)inΩ×ℝ(whereΩ⊂ℝNis a smooth bounded domain) for a wide class of Carathéodory functionsg:Ω×ℝ×[0,∞)→ℝsatisfying some integrability and positivity conditions.

SynopsisLet d ≧ 1 be an integer and ω ⊂ℝd a smooth bounded domain and consider the elliptic equation − Δu = g(u) on Ω = ℝ2 × ω. We prove that under (almost) necessary and sufficient conditions on the continuous function g: ℝm→ ℝm the above equation has a minimum-action solution.

AbstractLet Ω⊂ℝN be a smooth bounded domain and let f⁄≡0 be a possibly discontinuous and unbounded function. We give a necessary and sufficient condition on f for the existence of positive solutions for all λ>0 of Dirichlet periodic parabolic problems of the form Lu=h(x,t,u)+λf(x,t), where h is a nonnegative Carathéodory function that is sublinear at infinity. When this condition is not fulfilled, under some additional assumptions on h we characterize the set of λs for which the aforementioned problem possesses some positive solution. All results remain true for the corresponding elliptic problems.

This study concerns the existence of positive solutions to classes of boundary value problems of the form−∆u = g(x,u), x ∈ Ω,u(x) = 0, x ∈ ∂Ω,where ∆ denote the Laplacian operator, Ω is a smooth bounded domain in RN (N ≥ 2) with ∂Ω of class C2, and connected, and g(x, 0) < 0 for some x ∈ Ω (semipositone problems). By using the method of sub-super solutions we prove the existence of positive solution to special types of g(x,u).

Abstract In this paper we discuss the existence of a solution between wellordered subsolution and supersolution of the Kirchhoff equation. Using the sub-supersolution method together with a Rabinowitz-type global bifurcation theory, we establish the existence of positive solutions for Kirchhoff-type problems when the nonlinearity is singular or sign-changing. Moreover, we obtain some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions for the problem when N = 1.
