Applying the mountain-pass theorem due to Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz, we establish existence results for some nonlinear equations, namely $\\Delta u+hu=f(x,u)$, $x\\in V$. In particular, we prove that if $h$ and $f$ satisfy certain assumptions, then the above mentioned equation has strictly positive solutions. Also, we consider existence of positive solutions of the perturbed equation $\\Delta u+hu=f(x,u)+\\epsilon g$. Similar problems have been extensively studied on the Euclidean space as well as on Riemannian manifolds.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-07-15T15:15:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "34B45", "35A15", "58E30" ], "keywords": [ "locally finite graph", "positive solutions", "nonlinear equations", "usual graph laplacian", "positive lower bound" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
