She studies the nonnegative solutions of nonlinear boundary value problems, both ODEs and PDEs. Study of coupled system of Elliptic PDEs with Dirichlet boundary conditions, where reaction terms are asymptotically linear or superlinear at infinity, using bifurcation theory has been the recent focus of my work. I have also been working on extending existence/uniqueness/multiplicity results that are known for positone problems in bounded domains to so called exterior domains.

E-mail: jrossi@dm.uba.ar

Current research interests:

Julio D. Rossi mainly investigates Mathematical analysis, Bounded function, Combinatorics, Boundary value problem and Uniqueness. Mathematical analysis is represented through his Neumann boundary condition, Domain, Limit, p-Laplacian and Mixed boundary condition research. Julio D. Rossi works mostly in the field of p-Laplacian, limiting it down to concerns involving Laplace operator and, occasionally, Dirichlet problem.
