Positive convex solutions of boundary value problems arising from Monge-Ampère equations

We establish several criteria for the existence and multiplicity of convex solutions for a boundary value problem arising from the study of the existence of convex radial solutions for the Monge-Ampere equations. The results are sharp. The proof of the main result is based upon the bifurcation techniques.
