U.S.S.R. Comput. Math. Math. Phys. 26, No. 2, 48-54 (1986); translation from Zh. Vychisl. Mat. Mat. Fiz. 26, No. 3, 398-407 (1986).
The authors consider the radial-symmetric positive solution of the nonlinear elliptic equation in $${\mathbb{R}}^ N$$ arising from the study of the unbounded automodel solutions of the quasilinear parabolic equation with the source $u_ t=\nabla (| \nabla u|^{\sigma}\nabla u)+u^{\beta},\quad t>0,\quad x\in {\mathbb{R}}^ N,\quad \sigma,\beta \in R,\quad \sigma >0,\quad \beta >\sigma +1.$ It is shown that the elliptic problem has 4 different families of solutions; three discrete (denumerable) solutions and one continual solution. In the one- dimensional case the solutions are constructed numerically, the bifurcation situation is given.
