Abstract
In the recent years, many results have been established on positive solutions for boundary value problems of the form $$\displaylines{ -\mathop{\rm div}\nolimits (|\nabla u(x)|^{p-2}\nabla u(x))=\lambda f(u(x))\ \quad \hbox{in }\ {\mit\Omega}, \cr u(x)=0\quad\ \hbox{on }\ \partial{\mit\Omega}, \cr}$$ where $ \lambda>0$, ${\mit\Omega} $ is a bounded smooth domain and $ f(s)\geq 0 $ for $ s\geq 0$. In this paper, a priori estimates of positive radial solutions are presented when $ N > p>1$, ${\mit\Omega} $ is an $N$-ball or an annulus and $ f\in C^1(0,\infty)\cup C^0([0,\infty))$ with $f(0)<0$ (non-positone).
