For a sign-changing function a(x) we consider the solutions of the following semilinear elliptic problem in ℝn with n ≥ 3:where γ > 0 and 0 < q < 1 < p < (n + 2)/(n − 2). Under an appropriate growth assumption on a− at infinity, we show that all solutions are compactly supported. When Ω+ = {x ∈ ℝn | a(x) > 0} has several connected components, we prove that there exists an interval on γ in which the solutions exist. In particular, if a(x) = a(|x|), by applying the mountain-pass theorem there are at least two solutions with radial symmetry that are positive in Ω+.

This paper is devoted to the study of existence, nonexistence and multiplicity of positive solutions for the semilinear elliptic problem [Formula: see text] where Ω is a bounded domain of ℝN, λ ∈ ℝ and g(x, u) is a Carathéodory function. The obtained results apply to the following classes of nonlinearities: a(x)uq + b(x)up and c(x)(1 + u)p (0 ≤ q < 1 < p). The proofs rely on the sub-super solution method and the mountain pass theorem.

AbstractWe consider a semilinear elliptic problem , (n > 2m). Under suitable conditions on f, we show the existence of a decaying positive solution. We do not employ radial arguments. Our main tools are weighted spaces, various applications of the Mountain Pass Theorem and LP regularity estimates of Agmon. We answer an open question of Kusano, Naito and Swanson [Canad. J. Math. 40(1988), 1281-1300] in the superlinear case: , and improve the results of Dalmasso [C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris 308(1989), 411-414] for the case .

SynopsisWe analyse the set of nonnegative, global, and radial solutions (radial solutions, for short) of the equationwhere 0 < p < 1, and is a radial and almost everywhere nonnegative function. We show that radial solutions of (E) exist if f(r) = o(r2p/1−1−p) or if f(r) ≈ cr2p/1−p as r → ∞, whereWhen f(r) = c*r2p/1−p + h(r) with h(r) = o(r2p/1−p) as r → ∞, radial solutions continue to exist if h(r) is sufficiently small at infinity. Existence, however, breaks down if h(r) > 0,Whenever they exist, radial solutions are characterised in terms of their asymptotic behaviour as r → ∞.

By looking for critical points of functionals defined in some subspaces of , invariant under some subgroups of O (N), we prove the existence of many positive non-radial solutions for the following semilinear elliptic problem involving critical Sobolev exponent on an annulus, where 2* − 1 := (N + 2)/(N − 2) (N ≥ 4), the domain is an annulus and f : R+ × R+ → R is a C1 function, which is a subcritical perturbation.

We study the radial symmetry of large solutions of the semilinear elliptic problem Δu + ∇h · ∇u = f (∣x∣, u), and we provide sharp conditions under which the problem has a radial solution. The result is independent of the rate of growth of the solution at infinity.

SynopsisAn existence theorem is obtained for a fourth-order semilinear elliptic problem in RN involving the critical Sobolev exponent (N + 4)/(N − 4), N>4. A preliminary result is that the best constant in the Sobolev embedding L2N/(N–4) (RN) is attained by all translations and dilations of (1 + ∣x∣2)(4-N)/2. The best constant is found to be
