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. Copyright 2006 R. Enguica and L. Sanchez.

Introduction Let us consider the following nonlocal BVP in a ball u B 0 R of R -Au J u g u ju u du 0 where f and g are continuous functions. For simplicity we shall take R 1. We want to study the existence of positive radial solutions u x v x of . This may be seen as the stationary problem corresponding to a class of nonlocal evolution parabolic boundary value problems related to relevant phenomena in engineering and physics. The literature dealing with such problems has been growing in the last decade. The reader may find some hints on the motivation for the study of this mathematical model for example in the paper by Bebernes and Lacey 1 .

Note however that it is also of interest to study boundary value problems where the nonlocal expression appears in a boundary condition. We refer the reader to the recent paper by Yang 13 and its references. When dealing .
