Abstract

We establish that every nonconstant bounded radial solution u of −?u = f (u) in all of Rn is unstable if n ? 10. The result applies to every C1 nonlinearity f satisfying a generic nondegeneracy condition. In particular, it applies to every analytic and every power-like nonlinearity. We also give an example of a nonconstant bounded radial solution u which is stable for every n ? 11, and where f is a polynomial. To cite this article: X. Cabré, A. Capella, C. R. Acad. Sci.
