Positive mountain pass solutions for a semilinear elliptic equation with a sign-changing weight function (Q2492380)

The authors extend previous results concerning the existence of positive solutions of the semilinear equation \(-\Delta u=\lambda gu(1-u)\) with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition on a bounded domain \(\Omega\), where \(\lambda>0\) and g is a smooth weight function on \(\Omega\), to the case where \(g\) changes sign. The approach relies on the mountain path theorem.
