Eigenvalue problems of nonhomogeneous semilinear elliptic equations in Esteban–Lions domains with holes

In this article, we consider the following eigenvalue problems

('∗

λ' render=n">

where λ>0, N2 and is the upper semi-strip domain with a hole in . Under some suitable conditions on f and h, we show that there exists a positive constant λ^* such that Eq. (*)_λ has at least two solutions if λ(0,λ^*), a unique positive solution if λ=λ^*, and no positive solution if λ>λ^*. We also obtain some further properties of the positive solutions of (*)_λ.
