Abstract

We study the existence of multiple positive stable solutions for

$ -\epsilon^2\Delta u(x) = u(x)^2(b(x)-u(x)) \ \mbox{in}\ \Omega, \quad$ $ \frac{\partial u}{\partial n}(x) = 0 \ \mbox{on}\ \partial\Omega.$

Here $\epsilon>0$ is a small parameter and $b(x)$ is a piecewise continuous function which changes sign. These type of equations appear in a population growth model of species with a saturation effect in biology.
