In this work we obtain positive bounded solutions of various perturbations of
 $$$\left\{ \begin{array}{lcl} \hfill -\Delta u - \gamma \sum_{i, j = 1}^N \frac{x_i x_j}{|x|^2} u_{x_i x_j} & = & u^p \qquad \mbox{ in } B_1, \\ \hfill u & = & 0 \hfill\qquad\ \mbox{ on } \partial B_1, \end{array}\right.$$ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (1)$
where
 $B_1$
is the unit ball in
 ${{\mathbb{R}}}^N$
where
 $N \ge 3$
,
 $\gamma>0$
and
 $1 where $ \begin{equation*} p_{N, \gamma}: = \left\{ \begin{array}{lc} \frac{N+2+3 \gamma}{N-2-\gamma} & \qquad \mbox{ if } \gamma
Note for
 $\gamma>0$
this allows for supercritical range of
 $p$
.
