ABSTRACT

We study the existence of positive radial solutions of D2u =g(|x|)f(u)  in an annulus with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We establish that the equation has at least one positive radially symmetric solution on any annulus if f  and g  are nonnegative, g /= 0  and f  is superlinear at zero and + oo  . We also give a property of positive radial solutions.
