Because of the anisotropic character of the equations in (Qc) and (Pc) below, in solving those problems, we cannot right away apply the comparison principles. We will pick up some conditions under which the existence of some sub-and-super solutions of the problems leads to the existence theorems for those problems.

Following the Thomas-Fermi theory for atoms, we provide a mathematical proof of the fact that atoms grow in size with bounded radii as one goes down each group in the periodic table. The boundedness of the radii is quite known from experiments, but the fact that they are monotone increasing has not been established although it has been predicted for some time.
