Summary: We study positive solutions to multiparameter boundary-value problems of the form $$\displaylines{ - \Delta u =\lambda g(u)+\mu f(u)\quad \hbox{in } \Omega \cr u =0 \quad \hbox{on } \partial \Omega , }$$ where $\lambda >0, \mu >0, \Omega \subseteq R^{n}; n\geq 2$ is a smooth bounded domain with $\partial \Omega $ in class $C^{2}$ and $\Delta $ is the Laplacian operator. In particular, we assume $g(0)>0$ and superlinear while $f(0)0$, sublinear, and eventually strictly positive. For fixed $\mu$, we establish existence and multiplicity for $\lambda $ small, and nonexistence for $\lambda $ large. Our proofs are based on variational methods, the Mountain Pass Lemma, and sub-super solutions.
