Gelfand type quasilinear elliptic problems with quadratic gradient terms
Annales de l'I.H.P. Analyse non linéaire, Volume 31 (2014) no. 2, pp. 249-265.

In this paper, for 0<m 1 m(x)m 2 and positive parameters λ and p, we study the existence of positive solution for the quasilinear model problem

{-Δu+m(x)|u| 2 1+u=λ(1+u) p inΩ,u=0onΩ.
We prove that the maximal set of λ for which the problem has at least one positive solution is an interval (0,λ ], with λ >0, and there exists a minimal regular positive solution for every λ(0,λ ). We also prove, under suitable conditions depending on the dimension N and the parameters p, m 1 , m 2 , that for λ=λ there exists a minimal regular positive solution. Moreover we characterize minimal solutions as those solutions satisfying a stability condition in the case m 1 =m 2 .
