Abstract

By construction sub and supersolutions for the following semilinear elliptic equation u(x)=λg(x)f(u(x)), xn which arises in population genetics, we derive some results about the theory of existence of solutions as well as asymptotic properties of the solutions for every n and for the function g:n such that g is smooth and is negative at infinity.
