Synopsis

This paper considers semilinear elliptic boundary value problems of the form

where the partial derivative ∂f/∂u is bounded above by the least eigenvalue of the linear elliptic operator L. Existence and uniqueness of solutions is proved by using monotone operator theory and sub and supersolution techniques.
