摘要: In this paper, we study a semilinear elliptic equation defined on a bounded smooth domain. This type of problem arises from the study of spatial ecology model, and the growth function in the equation has a strong Allee effect and is inhomogeneous. We use variational methods to prove that the equation has at least two positive solutions for a large parameter if it satisfies some appropriate conditions. We also prove some nonexistence results.
