Abstract: A second order ordinary differential equation with a superlinear term g(x,u) under radiation boundary conditions is studied. Using a shooting argument, all the results obtained in a previous work for a Painlev'e II equation are extended. It is proved that the uniqueness or multiplicity of solutions depend on the interaction between the mapping fracpartialgpartialu(cdot,0) and the first eigenvalue of the associated linear operator. Furthermore, two open problems regarding, on the one hand, the existence of sign-changing solutions and, on the other hand, exact multiplicity are solved.
