Solvability of linear and semilinear eigenvalue problems with \(L^ 1\) data (Q1315176)

Summary: We study the equation \[ A(u)= \lambda u+f \quad \text{in } \Omega, \qquad u=0 \quad \text{on } \partial \Omega, \] where \(A\) is a linear elliptic operator in divergence form, \(\lambda\) is a real number and \(f\) is a function belonging to \(L^ 1 (\Omega)\). We find existence results similar to those obtained in the case \(f\in L^ 2 (\Omega)\). Furthermore, we study the Landesmann-Lazer, Dolph and Ambrosetti-Prodi problems for the operator \(A\), always with \(L^ 1 (\Omega)\) data.
