Abstract

This paper is contributed to the elliptic equation (0.1) Δu+K(|x|)up+μf(|x|)=0,

where p>1, xRn, n⩾3, and μ⩾0 is a constant. We study the structure of positive radial solutions of (0.1) and obtain the uniqueness of solution decaying faster than rm at ∞ if μ is small enough under some assumptions on K and f, where m is the slow decay rate.

Keywords
