review text: The author studies the existence, nonexistence and exact multiplicity of positive radial solutions of the equation NEWLINE\[NEWLINE -\Delta u = f(u) \quad\text{in}\quad B(R_1,R)=\{x\in{\mathbb R}^n: R_1<| x| <R \} \leqno(*) NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(n\geq 3\), \(R_1>0\) is fixed, and \(f(t)=t^p-t^q\) where \(1<p<q\) and \(p\leq (n+2)/(n-2)\). The two main results are the following.NEWLINENEWLINE(i) For the boundary condition \(u=0\) on \(\partial B(R_1,R)\) there exist \(R_0\geq \tilde R > R_1\) such that \((*)\) has exactly two positive radial solutions if \(R>R_0\) and no such solution if \(R<\tilde R\).NEWLINENEWLINE(ii) For the boundary condition \(u=0\) on \(| x| =R_1\) and \(\partial u/\partial\nu=0\) on \(| x| =R\) there exists \(R_0 > R_1\) such that \((*)\) has exactly two positive radial solutions if \(R>R_0\), exactly one such solution if \(R=R_0\) and no solution if \(R<R_0\).
