Abstract: For Ngeq3, by the seminal paper of Brezis and V'eron (Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 75(1):1--6, 1980/81), no positive solutions of −Deltau+uq=0 in mathbbRNsetminus0 exist if qgeqN/(N−2); for 1<q<N/(N−2) the existence and profiles near zero of all positive C1(mathbbRNsetminus0) solutions are given by Friedman and V'eron (Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 96(4):359--387, 1986). In this paper, for every q>1 and hetainmathbbR, we prove that the nonlinear elliptic problem (*) −Deltau−lambda,|x|−2,u+|x|hetauq=0 in mathbbRNsetminus0 with u>0 has a C1(mathbbRNsetminus0) solution if and only if lambda>lambda∗, where lambda∗=Theta(N−2−Theta) with Theta=(heta+2)/(q−1). We show that (a) if lambda>(N−2)2/4, then U0(x)=(lambda−lambda∗)1/(q−1)|x|−Theta is the only solution of (*) and (b) if lambda∗<lambdaleq(N−2)2/4, then all solutions of (*) are radially symmetric and their total set is U0cupUgamma,q,lambda:gammain(0,infty). We give the precise behavior of Ugamma,q,lambda near zero and at infinity, distinguishing between 1<q<qN,heta and q>maxqN,heta,1, where qN,heta=(N+2heta+2)/(N−2). In addition, for hetaleq−2 we settle the structure of the set of all positive solutions of (*) in Omegasetminus0, subject to u|partialOmega=0, where Omega is a smooth bounded domain containing zero, complementing the works of C^{i}rstea (Mem. Amer. Math. Soc. 227, 2014) and Wei--Du (J. Differential Equations 262(7):3864--3886, 2017).
