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.

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 → ∞.
