Necessary and sufficient conditions are proved for the existence of maximal and minimal positive solutions of the semilinear differential equation Δu = -ƒ(x, u) in exterior domains of Euclidean n-space. The hypotheses are that ƒ(x, u) is nonnegative and Hölder continuous in both variables, and bounded above and below by ugi(| x |, u), i = 1, 2, respectively, where each gi(r, u) is monotone in u for each r > 0.
