[For the entire collection see Zbl 0707.00017.] Some classes of partial differential equations of elliptic type can be converted into autonomous time-evolution equations by choosing one of the space variables as time variable. The resulting evolution equations are, of course, still of elliptic type, hence are ill-posed. Nonetheless, there are case in which one can deal with the problem in the framework of dynamical systems or their analogues. Note that the dynamical systems relevant to those equations are of infinite dimensions, since none of those partial differential equations can be converted into a finite system of ordinary differential equations. In this paper we deal with singular solutions of the following semilinear elliptic equation \(\Delta u-| u|^{q-1}u=0\), \(q>1\) const. and study their behavior near the singular point and near infinity. The main techniques used here come from the theory of infinite dimensional dynamical systems.
