Abstract

We consider the uniqueness of the positive solution to a semilinear elliptic equation with Dirichlet boundary condition and the nonlinearity satisfying $f(0)<0$ and having asymptotic sublinear growth rate. A similar idea is also applied to the nonexistence of a positive solution to a superlinear problem.
