We construct a radial singular solution and study the intersection number between the singular solution and a regular solution. An application to bifurcation problems of elliptic Dirichlet problems is given. To this end, we derive a certain limit equation from the original equation at infinity, using a generalized similarity transformation. Through a generalized Cole-Hopf transformation, all the limit equations can be reduced into two typical cases, i.e., $\\Delta u+u^p=0$ and $\\Delta u+e^u=0$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-12-24T07:07:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35J25", "35B32", "35J61", "34C10" ], "keywords": [ "semilinear elliptic equation", "limit equation", "general supercritical growth", "bifurcation diagrams", "study radial solutions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
