On an Ambrosetti-Prodi type problem in $\R^N$

In this paper we study results of existence and non-existence of solutions for the following Ambrosetti-Prodi type problem $$\left\{ \begin{array}{lcl} -\Delta u=P(x)\Big( g(u)+f(x)\Big) \mbox{ in } \mathbb{R}^N,\\ u \in D^{1,2}(\R^N),\ \lim_{|x|\to +\infty}u(x)=0, \end{array} \right. \eqno{(P)}$$ where $N\geq3$, $P\in C(\R^N,\R^+)$, $f\in C(\R^N)\cap L^{\infty}(\R^N)$ and $g\in C^1(\R)$. The main tools used are the sub-supersolution method and Leray-Schauder topological degree theory.
