Abstract
In this paper, some mixed sublinear-superlinear critical problem extending the famous problem of Brezis-Nirenberg are analysed. The existence of solutions is discussed. A phase plane analysis is performed in order to transform the problem into an ordinary differential equation. Finally, a full classification of radial solutions according to their behavior at the origin is performed for subcritical, critical and supercritical cases. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
