Abstract

In this paper, we study the number of classical positive radial solutions for Dirichlet problems of type

(P) d i v u 1 | u | 2 = λ f ( u ) in B 1 , u = 0 on B 1 ,

where λ is a positive parameter, B 1 = { x R N : | x | < 1 } , f : [0, ∞) → [0, ∞) is a continuous function. Using the fixed point index in a cone, we prove the results on both uniqueness and multiplicity of positive radial solutions of (P).
