Abstract
In this paper, we consider the uniqueness of radial solutions of the nonlinear Dirichlet problem Δu + f{hook}(u) = 0 in Ω with u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Δ = ∑i = 1n ∂2 ∂xi2,f{hook} satisfies some appropriate conditions and Ω is a bounded smooth domain in Rn which possesses radial symmetry. Our uniqueness results apply to, for instance, f{hook}(u) = up, p > 1, or more generally λu + ∑i = 1k aiupi, λ ≥ 0, ai > 0 and pi > 1 with appropriate upper bounds, and Ω a ball or an annulus.
