On the uniqueness of sign changing bound state solutions of a semilinear equation

Abstract

We establish the uniqueness of the higher radial bound state solutions of $$ Δu +f(u)=0,\quad x\in \RR^n. \leqno(P) $$ We assume that the nonlinearity $f\in C(-\infty ,\infty )$ is an odd function satisfying some convexity and growth conditions, and either has one zero at $b>0$, is non positive and not identically 0 in $(0,b)$, and is differentiable and positive $[b,\infty )$, or is positive and differentiable in $[0,\infty )$.
