Radial solutions for a nonlocal boundary value problem

Boundary Value Problems volume 2006, Article number: 32950 (2006) Cite this article

Abstract

We consider the boundary value problem for the nonlinear Poisson equation with a nonlocal term,. We prove the existence of a positive radial solution when grows linearly in, using Krasnoselskiiés fixed point theorem together with eigenvalue theory. In presence of upper and lower solutions, we consider monotone approximation to solutions.
