Abstract

In this article, the authors consider a class of semilinear elliptic equations on fractal sets under some new conditions, which are more weaker than those in usual cases. The authors get the non-trivial and non-negative solution of the zero boundary Dirichlet problem using Mountain Pass Lemma.
