Existence and nonexistence of radial solutions for
semilinear equations with bounded nonlinearities on exterior domains

Abstract:
In this article we study radial solutions of
on the exterior of the ball of radius R>0 centered at the origin in
,
where f is odd with f<0 on
, f>0 on
,
for
,
and where the function K(r) is assumed to be positive
and
as
.
The primitive
has a ``hilltop'' at
. With mild assumptions on f we prove that if
with
then there are n solutions of
on the exterior of the ball of radius R such that
as
if R>0 is sufficiently small. We also show there are no solutions
if R>0 is sufficiently large.
