Phase plane analysis and classification of solutions of a mixed sublinear-superlinear elliptic problem Original Research Article

In this paper, some mixed sublinear-superlinear critical problem extending the famous problem of Brezis–Nirenberg are analysed. The existence of solutions is discussed. A phase plane analysis is performed in order to transform the problem into an ordinary differential equation. Finally, a full classification of radial solutions according to their behavior at the origin is performed for subcritical, critical and supercritical cases.
