The problem of understanding whether any entire positive solution of {del}u + f({vert_bar}x{vert_bar}, u) = 0, which decays to 0 at infinity, is radial has received much attention. B. Gidas, W.M. Ni and L. Nirenberg proved that when K is radial and strictly decreasing and p > {sup n+1}/{sub n-2} then all C{sup 2} positive solutions of {del}u + K(x)u{sup P} = O in R{sup n} which decay at infinity like {vert_bar}x{vert_bar}P{sup 2-n} are radial.
