Nonzero positive solutions of a multi-parameter elliptic system with functional BCs

Abstract

We prove, by topological methods, new results on the existence of nonzero positive weak solutions for a class of multi-parameter second order elliptic systems subject to functional boundary conditions. The setting is fairly general and covers the case of multi-point, integral and nonlinear boundary conditions. We also present a non-existence result. We provide some examples to illustrate the applicability our theoretical results.
