Existence of infinitely many solutions for semilinear problems on exterior domains (Q2658631)

This paper considers the existence of infinitely many radial solutions of \[ \begin{cases} \Delta u+K(r)f(u)=0 \text{ in } \mathbb{R}^N\setminus B_R,\\ u=0 \text{ on }\partial B_R,\\ u\to0 \text{ as }|x|\to\infty, \end{cases} \] where \(B_R\) is the ball of radius \(R>0\) centered at the origin in \(\mathbb{R}^N\) and \(K(r)>0\). Under mild conditions for \(K(r)\) and \(f(u)\), the existence of an infinite number of solutions is obtained. The highlight of this paper is no monotonicity restriction on \(r^{2(N-1)}K(r)\).
