Abstract

In this article, we shall show that under suitable conditions on f and h, there exists a positive number λ* such that the nonhomogeneous semilinear elliptic equation - Δ u + σ2 u = λ (f (u) + h (x)) in R+N, u ∈ H01 (R+N), N ≥ 3, has exactly two positive solutions if λ ∈ (0, λ*), a unique positive solution if λ = λ* and no positive solution if λ > λ*. We also obtain some properties of the set of solutions.
