Abstract

We consider the semilinear problem

where λ is a positive parameter and f has exponential critical growth. We first establish the existence of a non-zero weak solution. Then, by assuming that f is odd, we prove that the number of solutions increases when the parameter λ becomes large. In the proofs we apply variational methods in a suitable weighted Sobolev space consisting of functions with rapid decay at infinity.
