MULTIPLE POSITIVE RADIAL SOLUTIONS<br />

FOR QUASILINEAR EQUATIONS<br />

IN ANNULAR DOMAINS<br />

HAIYAN WANG<br />

We study the number of positive radial solutions of elliptic equations when nonlinearity<br />

has zeros. We show that the problem has k positive solutions if the nonlinearity has k<br />

zeros. Similar results are also true for elliptic systems.<br />

1. Introduction<br />

In this paper we consider the multiplicity of positive radial solutions for the quasilinear<br />

equations<br />

div ( A ( |∇u| ) ∇u ) + λb ( |x| ) f (u) = 0 inD,<br />

u = 0 forx ∈ ∂D,<br />

div ( A ( |∇u| ) ∇u ) ( )<br />

+ λb 1 |x| g1 (u,v) = 0 inD,<br />

div ( A ( |∇v| ) ∇v ) ( )<br />

+ λb 2 |x| g2 (u,v) = 0 inD,<br />

u = v = 0 forx ∈ ∂D,<br />
