Summary

Introduction

In this paper we look for solutions u : RN → R of the nonlinear partial differential equation (1.1). McLeod, Troy and Weissler studied the radial solutions of the above mentioned equation in [5]. In this paper they made a remark that their result could be extended to the p-Laplacian. Serrin and Tang [9] have proved existence of radial solutions to a p-Laplacian equation with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. We assume that u(x) = u(|x|) and let r = |x| In this case (1.1)-(1.2) becomes the nonlinear ordinary differential equation (1.3). We first solve the initial value problem r rN−1|u |p−2u = − sN−1f (u(s))ds u(0) = d ≥ 0.
