Abstract:
We consider the following semilinear elliptic equation involving critical Sobolev exponents: \[ \begin {array}{*{20}{c}} { - \Delta u = K(|x|){u^{(n + 2)/(n - 2)}}\quad {\text {in}}\;{{\mathbf {R}}^n},} \\ {u(x) \to 0\quad {\text {as}}\;|x| \to \infty ,} \\ \end {array} \] where $n \geq 3,K(r) \in C([0,\infty ),{\mathbf {R}})$. We prove the existence of a positive radial solution with asymptotic behavior $C/|x{|^{n - 2}}$ at $|x| = \infty$ under the conditions (i) $K(r) > 0$ for all $r > 0$, (ii) $K(0) = K(\infty )$, and (iii) there exist C, $\delta > 0$ such that $K(r) \geq K(0) - C{r^\delta }$ for small $r > 0$ and $K(r) \geq K(0) - C{r^{ - \delta }}$ for large $r > 0$.References
