Abstract | ||||
We study a nonlinear elliptic problem with discontinuous nonlinearity ðPÞ Du ¼ fðuÞHðl uÞ in X; u ¼0 on @X; where H is the Heaviside’s unit function, f, h are given functions and l is a positive real parameter. We prove the existence of a unique solution and characterize the corresponding free boundary. Our methods relies on variational inequality approach combining with fixed point arguments. | ||||
