Abstract

Under suitable hypotheses we obtain various theorems concerning the existence of positive solutions of the equation {Mathematical expression} in ℝn, where p>1 and Q(x) is a given potential. If Q is radially symmetric, our result is particularly simple and general. We also study symmetries of solutions of the above equation in a ball with the boundary condition u = 0.
