Synopsis

Our paper concerns the existence of a positive solution for the equation:

A new condition, which guarantees the existence of a solution of the above equation, has been established. It has also given some sharp information in the cases where: (1) a(x) = λ = const. and Ω is a “thin” domain; (2) Ω is a ball and a(x) is a radially symmetrical function.
