Abstract

We consider the fully nonlinear problem \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -F(x,D^2u)=|u|^{p-1}u & \text{in Ω\Omega}\\ u=0 & \text{on Ω\partial\Omega} \end{cases} \end{equation*} where FF is uniformly elliptic, p>1p>1 and Ω\Omega is either an annulus or a ball in \Rn\Rn, n2n\geq2. \\ We prove the following results: \begin{itemize} \item[i)] existence of a positive/negative radial solution for every exponent p>1p>1, if Ω\Omega is an annulus; \item[ii)] existence of infinitely many sign changing radial solutions for every p>1p>1, characterized by the number of nodal regions, if Ω\Omega is an annulus; \item[iii)] existence of infinitely many sign changing radial solutions characterized by the number of nodal regions, if FF is one of the Pucci's operator, Ω\Omega is a ball and pp is subcritical.
