Abstract: Assuming BR is a ball in mathbbRN, we analyze the positive solutions of the problem [ �egin{cases} -Delta u+u= |u|^{p-2}u, & ext{ in } B_{R},

ewline partial_{

u}u=0,& ext{ on } partial B_{R}, end{cases} ] that branch out from the constant solution u=1 as p grows from 2 to +infty. The non-zero constant positive solution is the unique positive solution for p close to 2. We show that there exist arbitrarily many positive solutions as poinfty (in particular, for supercritical exponents) or as Roinfty for any fixed value of p>2, answering partially a conjecture in [Bonheure-Noris-Weth]. We give the explicit lower bounds for p and R so that a given number of solutions exist. The geometrical properties of those solutions are studied and illustrated numerically. Our simulations motivate additional conjectures. The structure of the least energy solutions (among all or only among radial solutions) and other related problems are also discussed.
