Sublinear elliptic equations in \(\mathbb{R}{}^ n\) (Q1191470)

The main result is \(-\Delta u=\rho(x)u^ \alpha\), \(0<\alpha<1\), \(\rho\geq 0\), \(0\not\equiv\rho\in L^ \infty_{loc}\) has a bounded solution in \(\mathbb{R}^ n\), \(n\geq 3\), if and only if \(\rho\) satisfies property \((H)\), i.e. \(\Delta u=\rho\) in \(\mathbb{R}^ n\) has a bounded solution. Moreover there is a minimal positive solution of (1). Uniqueness results are established.
