Abstract:
      In this paper, we study the positive solutions of the semilinear elliptic equation \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} {L}u+g(x,u)u=0 &\text{ in } \Omega,\Bu=0 &\text{ on } \partial\Omega, \end{cases} \end{equation*} where $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ is a bounded smooth domain, $L$ is an elliptic operator, $B$ is a general boundary operator and $g(\cdot,\cdot)$ is a continuous function. This is a general problem proposed by Amann [\emph{Arch. Rational Mech. Anal.} 44 (1972)], Cac [\emph{J. London Math. Soc.} 25 (1982)] and Hess [\emph{Math. Z.} 154 (1977)]. We obtain various uniqueness results when the nonlinearity function $g$ satisfies some additional conditions.
