Title: Existence results for nonlinear elliptic equations in bounded domains of $R^n$ Author: Malek Zribi (Faculte des sciences de tunis, Tunisia) Abstract: We establish existence results for the boundary-value problem $\Delta u+f(.,u)=0$ in a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ $(n\geq 2)$, where $f$ satisfies some appropriate conditions related to a Kato class. The proofs are based on various techniques related to potential theory. Submitted May 4, 2006. Published August 15, 2006. Math Subject Classifications: 34B27, 34J65.
