The authors consider the nonlocal nonlinear problem \[ -\Delta u + g(x,u)\phi(u) = f(x,u)\quad \text{in }\Omega,\qquad u=0 \quad \text{in }\partial \Omega, \] where \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N\) is regular open bounded domain and \(\phi(u)\) represents a monotone nonnegative nonlocal functional, for example \(\phi(u)=\int u\). The functions \(f\) and \(g\) are assumed to be positive, \(g\) has a polynomial growth at infinity. Using the Leray-Schauder degree and the upper-lower solution procedure the authors prove the existence of a positive solution for the problem when \(f\) is sublinear in \(u\) on the positive axis and also when \(f\) is sublinear in \(u\) near zero and superlinear in \(u\) at infinity. Several applications motivated by population dynamics are also considered.
