Abstract: | For n≥3 and p>1, the elliptic equation Δu+K(x)up+μf(x)=0 in possesses a continuum of positive entire solutions, provided that (i) locally Hölder continuous functions K and f vanish rapidly, for instance, K(x),f(x)=O(|x|l) near ∞ for some l<−2 and (ii) μ≥0 is sufficiently small. Especially, in the radial case with K(x)=k(|x|) and f(x)=g(|x|) for some appropriate functions k,g on 0,∞), there exist two intervals Iμ,1, Iμ,2 such that for each α∈Iμ,1 the equation has a positive entire solution uα with uα(0)=α which converges to l∈Iμ,2 at ∞, and uα1<uα2 for any α1<α2 in Iμ,1. Moreover, the map α to l is one-to-one and onto from Iμ,1 to Iμ,2. If K≥0, each solution regarded as a steady state for the corresponding parabolic equation is stable in the uniform norm; moreover, in the radial case the solutions are also weakly asymptotically stable in the weighted uniform norm with weight function |x|n−2. |
