An existence theorem for elliptic equations with nonlocal boundary conditions

Abstract

The focus of this study is on exploring some qualitative properties of solutions to a class of semilinear elliptic problems in bounded domains, where the boundary conditions depend non-locally on the unknown solution at specified interior points and its integral. The primary approach integrates a fixed-point argument with refined asymptotic estimates to establish the existence and structure of solutions. Furthermore, the maximum principles are established under practical nonlocal-type boundary conditions.
