Positive solutions for the degenerate logistic indefinite superlinear problem the slow diffusion case

Abstract

In this work we study the existence, stability and multiplicity of the positive steady-states solutions of the degenerate logistic indefinite superlinear problem. By an adequate change of variable, the problem is transformed into an elliptic equation with concave and indefinite convex nonlinearities. We use singular spectral theory, the Leray-Schauder degree, bifurcation and monotony methods to obtain the existence results, and fixed point index in cones and a Picone identity to show the multiplicity results and the existence of a unique positive solution linearly asymptotically stable.
