Abstract

Let Ω ⊆ n be open and bounded, with ∂Ω smooth. Sufficient conditions on f are given in order that for p > n, the equation

has a solution for every hLp; L is a second order symmetric elliptic operator and B represents either the first, second or third boundary value problems. These conditions are in terms of the asymptotic behaviour of f, in its second variable, in relation to those λ for which there is a nontrivial solution of
