Ambrosetti-Prodi type results in elliptic systems (Q698858): Difference between revisions

Let \(f\in C(\mathbb R^1)\), satisfying \[ \underline{\alpha}= \limsup_{t\to-\infty} \frac{f(t)}{t}<\lambda_1< \liminf_{t\to+\infty} \frac{f(t)}{t}= \overline{\alpha}, \] where \(\lambda_1\) is the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian on a bounded domain \(\Omega\) under the Dirichlet condition. Let \(\psi_1\) be the associate eigenfunction, then \(\exists t^*\in\mathbb R^1\) such that the equation \[ \begin{cases} -\Delta u=f(u)+t\psi_1 &\text{in }\Omega,\\ u=0 &\text{on }\partial\Omega, \end{cases} \] has no solution if \(t>t^*\), at least one solution if \(t=t^*\), and at least two solutions if \(t<t^*\). The goal of the paper is to extend this Ambrosetti-Prodi type result to elliptic systems.
