Extending [14], we establish the existence of multiple positive solutions for a Schrödinger-type singular elliptic equation: $$\{{-{\Delta}u+V(x)u={\lambda}{\frac{f(u)}{u^{\beta}}},\;x{\in}{\Omega}, \atop u=0,\;x{\in}{\partial}{\Omega},$$ where 0 ∈ Ω is a bounded domain in ℝ^N, N ≥ 1, with a smooth boundary ∂Ω, β ∈ [0, 1), f ∈ C[0, ∞), V : Ω → ℝ is a bounded function and λ is a positive parameter. In particular, when f(s) > 0 on [0, σ) and f(s) < 0 for s > σ, we establish the existence of at least three positive solutions for a certain range of λ by using the method of sub and supersolutions.

We establish an existence result for a positive solution to the Schrödinger-type singular semipositone problem: $-{\Delta}u\,=\,V(x)u\,=\,{\lambda}{\frac{f(u)}{u^{\alpha}}}$ in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a bounded domain in ℝ^N , N > 2, λ ∈ ℝ is a positive parameter, V ∈ L^∞(Ω), 0 < α < 1, f ∈ C([0, ∞), ℝ) with f(0) < 0. In particular, when ${\frac{f(s)}{s^{\alpha}}}$ is sublinear at infinity, we establish the existence of a positive solutions for λ ≫ 1. The proofs are mainly based on the sub and supersolution method. Further, we extend our existence result to infinite semipositone problems with mixed boundary conditions.
