Abstract

In this paper we study the behavior near infinity of non-negative solutions of the semi-linear elliptic equation

where and . Especially, for a non-negative radial solution of this equation we prove the following alternative:
either has a compact support
or tends to one at infinity.
Moreover, we prove that if a general solution is sufficiently small in some sense, then it is compactly supported. To prove this result we use some inequalities between the solution and its spherical average at a shift point and consider a differential inequality. Finally, we prove the existence of non-trivial solutions which converge to one at infinity.
