Abstract
The Dirichlet problem for a weakly nonlinear equation Δu=f(x, u) is investigated. We use successive approximations constructed by modified Newton's scheme and apply the extremal properties of the solutions of the elliptic equation of the form Δu − c(x)u=F(x), where c(x) ≥ 0. Numerical solution of the resulting sequence of linear boundary-value problems is considered.
