Our main objective is to prove the existence of a pair of positive, exponentially decaying, classical solutions of the semilinear elliptic eigenvalue problem1.1in a smooth unbounded domain Ω ⊂ RN, N ≧ 2, where λ is a positive parameter and L is a uniformly elliptic operator in Ω defined by

We prove existence results of two solutions of the problem \[ \begin{cases} L(u)+u^{m-1}=\lambda u^{p-1} & \text{in}\ \Omega,\\ u>0 & \text{in}\ \Omega,\\ u=0 & \text{on}\ \partial \Omega, \end{cases} \] where $L(v)=-\textrm {div}(M(x)\nabla v)$ is a linear operator, $p\in (2,2^{*}]$ and $\lambda$ and $m$ sufficiently large. Then their asymptotical limit as $m\to +\infty$ is investigated showing different behaviours.
