Abstract

Using the theory of fixed point index, we discuss the existence of nontrivial (multiple) solutions of a nonlinear scalar heat equation with nonlocal boundary conditions depending on a positive parameter. Solutions lose positivity as the parameter decreases. For a certain parameter range, not all solutions can be positive but there are positive solutions for certain types of nonlinearity. We also prove a uniqueness result.
