Positive solutions of a nonlinear elliptic equation in \(\{x\in {\mathbb R}^2: |x|>1\}\) (Q5959346)

The author proves existence of infinitely many positive solutions of the semilinear equation \(\Delta u+f(x,u)=0\) in \(D,\) \(u=0\) on \(\partial D,\) where \(D=\{x\in {\mathbb R}^2\colon\;|x|>1\}\) and \(f(x,t)\) is a Carathéodory function dominated by a regular function \(q(x,t)\) such that \(q(x,\log|x|)\) belongs to a suitable Kato class.
