Linear and semilikear eigenvalue problems in Rn

Abstract
We consider the problem for , with respect to the existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions as For the linear, radially symmetric problem with , the number of zeros and asymptotic behavior of the solutions is known as λ> 0 varies. In this paper we study the linear equation as well as bounded and sublinear perturbations of the linear equation. For the nonsyrnmetric, linear and semilinear equations we investigate the structure of the set of X for which the solutions are positive and decay to zero. Unlike the symmetric linear case, these results cannot be derived directly from the fundamental structure theorem for linear ordinary differential equations. We work with topological methods and comparison theorems.
