✦ Synopsis

We consider a semilinear elliptic equation, 2u+u p =0 on 0 R #[x # R n |R&1< |x|2. We prove that, when the space dimension n is three, the number of nonequivalent nonradial positive solutions of the equation goes to as R Ä . The same result has been known for n=2 and n 4; in those cases, the result was obtained by showing that the minimal energy solutions in various symmetry classes have different energy levels. As we will show in this paper, this is not true if n=3. This makes the case n=3 highly exceptional, and explains why past attempts failed in this case. In this paper we will prove the above result by considering local rather than global minimizers in some symmetry classes.

We study the existence of positive radial solutions of \(A u+g(|x|) f(u)=0\) in annuli with Dirichlet (Dirichlet/Neumann) boundary conditions. We prove that the problems have positive radial solutions on any annulus if \(f\) is sublinear at 0 and \(\infty . \quad C 1994\) Academic Press, Inc.
