A nonradial bifurcation result with applications to supercritical problems

Abstract

In this paper we consider the problem $-\Delta u=|x|^{\alpha} F(u)$ in $R^N$, with $\alpha>0$ and $N\ge3$. Under some assumptions on $F$ we deduce the existence of nonradial solutions which bifurcate from the radial one when $\alpha$ is an even integer.
