Abstract

We study the existence of positive solutions on to semilinear elliptic equation where and is modeled on the power case . Denoting with the mountain pass level of , (), we show, via a new energy constrained variational argument, that for any there exists a positive bounded solution such that and as uniformly with respect to . We also characterize the monotonicity, symmetry and periodicity properties of .
