AbstractWe consider the infinite multiplicity of entire solutions for the elliptic equation Δu + K(x)eu + μf(x) = 0 in ℝn, n ⩾ 3. Under suitable conditions on K and f, the equation with small μ ⩾ 0 possesses a continuum of entire solutions with a specific asymptotic behaviour. Typically, K behaves like |x|ℓ at ∞ for some ℓ > −2 and the entire solutions behave asymptotically like − (2 + ℓ)log |x| near ∞. Main tools of the analysis are comparison principle for separation structure, asymptotic expansion of solutions near ∞, barrier method and strong maximum principle. The linearized operator for the equation has two characteristic behaviours related with the stability and the weak asymptotic stability of the solutions as steady states for the corresponding parabolic equation.

Bifurcation of non-radial solutions from radial solutions of a semilinear elliptic equation with negative exponent in expanding annuli of ℝ2 is studied. To obtain the main results, we use a blow-up argument via the Morse index of the regular entire solutions of the equationThe main results of this paper can be seen as applications of the results obtained recently for finite Morse index solutions of the equationwith N ⩾ 2 and p > 0.

In this paper, we consider the nonhomogeneous semilinear elliptic equation,where λ ≥ 0, 1 < p < (N + 2)/(N − 2), if N ≥ 3, 1 < p < ∞, if N = 2, h(x) ∈ H−l(ℝN), 0 ≢ h(x) ≥ 0 in ℝN, K(x) is a positive, bounded and continuous function on ℝN. We prove that if K(x) ≥ K∞ > 0 in ℝN, and lim∣x∣⃗∞K(x) = K∞, then there exists a positive constant λ✶ such that (✶)λ has at least two solutions if λ ∈ (0, λ✶) and no solution if λ > λ✶. Furthermore, (✶)λ has a unique solution for λ = λ✶ provided that h(x) satisfies some suitable conditions. We also obtain some further properties and bifurcation results of the solutions of (1.1)λ at λ = λ✶.
