%0 Journal Article %T Radial solutions for a nonlocal boundary value problem %A Ricardo Engui£¿a %A Lu¨ªs Sanchez %J Boundary Value Problems %D 2006 %I Springer %R 10.1155/bvp/2006/32950 %X We consider the boundary value problem for the nonlinear Poisson equation with a nonlocal term ¡é ¡¯ ¡±u=f(u, ¡é Ug(u)), u| ¡é U=0. We prove the existence of a positive radial solution when f grows linearly in u, using Krasnoselskii s fixed point theorem together with eigenvalue theory. In presence of upper and lower solutions, we consider monotone approximation to solutions. %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/BVP/2006/32950
