In the present article, we described the finite element method for finding positive solutions for the elliptic problems of the type - Delta u = lambda f (x)g(u) for x is an element of Omega, with Dirichlet boundary condition. By using Matlab, we visualize the range of X in which this problem achieves a numerical Solution, and also discussed the behavior of the branch of this solution. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
