Abstract

This paper deals with a class of nonlinear elliptic equations in an unbounded domain D of n, n3, with a nonempty compact boundary, where the nonlinear term satisfies some appropriate conditions related to a certain Kato class K(D). Our purpose is to give some existence results and asymptotic behaviour for positive solutions by using the Green function approach and the Schauder fixed point theorem.
