We make no assumptions about the open set, very mild regularity assumptions on the semilinearity, plus a coerciveness assumption which depends on the optimal Poincare-Steklov constant. The proof is based on Schaefer's fixed point theorem applied to a sequence of truncated problems. We state a simple uniqueness result. We also generalize the results to Robin boundary conditions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-07-31T12:13:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35A16" ], "keywords": [ "semilinear elliptic boundary value problems", "arbitrary open set", "fixed point theorem", "semilinear elliptic dirichlet problem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150708846S" } } }
