Harnack type inequalities and multiple solutions in cones of nonlinear problems (Q2180207)

This paper presents an abstract theory regarding operator equations and systems in ordered Banach spaces. The authors get existence, localization and multiplicity results of positive solutions using Krasnosel'skiĭ's fixed point theorem in cones. To prove the results, a Harnack-type inequality for the supersolutions of the operator is a central tool. Concerning systems, the localization is established by the vector version of Krasnosel'skiĭ's theorem, where the compression-expansion conditions are expressed on components. The approach is very general and covers and unifies a large number of results on particular classes of problems. Therefore the paper could be an interesting starting point for future research in this specific field.
