Abstract:
In this article we study radial solutions of
on the exterior of the ball of radius R>0 centered at the origin in
where f is odd with f<0 on
,
f>0 on
,
for
,
and where the function
K(r) is assumed to be positive and
as
.
The primitive
has a "hilltop" at
.
We prove that if
with
and if R>0 is sufficiently small then there are a finite number of
solutions of
on the exterior of the ball of
radius R such that
as
.
We also prove the
nonexistence of solutions if R is sufficiently large.
