Outline of Final Research Achievements

We study concave-convex nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems, equipped with indefinite weights, in a smooth bounded domain of the Euclidean space, and investigate the existence of nontrivial nonnegative solutions and their properties.
On one hand, we have determined the bifurcation structure of the nontrivial nonnegative solutions set in some cases, as a parameter included varies. Especially, we have obtained a loop type component of nontrivial nonnegative solutions which bifurcates from the trivial solutions line.
On the other hand, we have provided certain sufficient conditions for the positivity of nontrivial nonnegative solutions. The strong maximum principle does work for nonlinear elliptic problems which are regular around zero solutions in the standard sense, in which class any nontrivial nonnegative solution so implies a positive solution. However, it does not work in general for concave-convex problems with indefinite weights.
