This problem arises in nonlinear optics from the study of the behaviour of optical cylindrical waveguides. Under some growth conditions on \\(f\\in C^1((0,\\infty), \\mathbb{R})\\), it is proved that if \\(\\text{essinf}_{B_d}h> 0\\) and \\(\\lambda>\\|h\\|_\\infty\\), then there exists at least one asymmetric positive solution. The method is based on the variational structure of the problem in the Sobolev space \\(H^1(\\mathbb{R}^N)\\). The point is to show that the mountain-pass solution is asymmetric."},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2026-01-01T23:43:50Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
