Summary

Introduction

This paper concerns with the existence of nonnegative solutions of the following nonlocal nonlinear elliptic problem (− )su = λ f (u) in , u=0 on RN \ ,. It is known that its behavior at zero and/or infinity can get to play a crucial role in the existence question of solutions. This study has been extended to problems where the Laplacian was replaced by the p-Laplacian [13,14] or Pucci’s operators [1,20] In all these works, it was shown that there exist two positive solutions for sufficiently large λ and by assuming some additional conditions on f. To put into perspective our result, throughout this paper we consider f : R → [0, ∞) being a continuous function that verifies the following conditions:.
