Semilinear elliptic equations with dependence on the gradient

Guanggang Liu, Shaoyun Shi, Yucheng Wei

Abstract:
In this article we consider elliptic equations whose nonlinear term depends on the gradient of the unknown. We assume that the nonlinearity has a asymptotically linear growth at zero and at infinity with respect to the second variable. By applying Morse theory and an iterative method, we prove the existence of nontrivial solutions.
