EXISTENCE OF POSITIVE SOLUTIONS FOR NONLINEAR BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS IN BOUNDED DOMAINS OF Rn FATEN TOUMI Received 10 June 2004; Accepted 22 September 2004 Let D be a bounded domain in Rn (n ≥ 2). We consider the following nonlinear elliptic problem: Δu = f (·, u) in D (in the sense of distributions), u|∂D = ϕ, where ϕ is a non- negative continuous function on ∂D and f is a nonnegative function satisfying some appropriate conditions related to some Kato class of functions K (D). Our aim is to prove that the above problem has a continuous positive solution bounded bel
