Abstract:

We prove an existence result for Robin boundary value problems modeled on \[ \begin{cases} Δu +
\nabla u
^2 + λf(x) = 0 & \text{in } Ω \\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial ν} + βu = 0 & \text{on } \partialΩ\end{cases} \] where $Ω$ is a bounded, sufficiently smooth open set in $\mathbb R^N$, $f(x)$ belongs to the Marcinkiewicz space $M^{\frac N2}$ and {$β>0$}, under a smallness assumption on the datum $λ$. In order to study such problem, we will show several properties of the weighted, singular Robin eigenvalue problem \[ λ_{1,f,γ}(Ω)= \inf_{ψ\in H^{1},\;\int_Ωfψ^{2}=1}\left\{\int_Ω
\nabla ψ
^{2}dx+γ\int_{\partialΩ}ψ^{2}\right\}. \]
