Abstract

In this paper, we study the problem [-Delta u - (2 + alpha/2)(2) vertical bar x vertical bar(alpha) f (lambda, u), in B-1, [u > 0, in B-1, (P) [u - 0, on partial derivative B-1, where B-1 is the unit ball of R-2, f is a smooth nonlinearity and alpha, lambda are real numbers with alpha > 0. From a careful study of the linearized operator, we compute the Morse index of some radial solutions to (P). Moreover, using the bifurcation theory, we prove the existence of branches of nonradial solutions for suitable values of the positive parameter lambda. The case f (lambda, u) = lambda e(u) provides more detailed informations. (AU)
