Abstract

Existence and uniqueness of positive radial solution $ u_p $ of the Navier boundary value problem:

$ \left \{ \begin{array}{ll} \Delta^2 u = u^p \;\;\; &\mbox{in $ \mathbb{R} ^N \backslash {\overline B}$},\\ u>0 \;\;\; &\mbox{in $ \mathbb{R} ^N \backslash {\overline B}$},\\ u = \Delta u = 0 \;\;\; &\mbox{on $\partial B$}, \end{array} \right. $

where $ B \subset \mathbb{R} ^N \; (N \geq 5) $ is the unit ball and $ p>\frac{N+4}{N-4} $, are obtained. Meanwhile, the asymptotic behavior as $ p \to \infty $ of $ u_p $ is studied. We also find the conditions such that $ u_p $ is non-degenerate.
