Abstract

In this paper we analyze radial solutions for the generalized scalar curvature equation. In particular we prove the existence of ground states and singular ground states when the curvature $K(r)$ is monotone as $r o 0$ and as $r o infty$. The results are new even when $p=2$, that is when we consider the usual Laplacian. The proofs use a new Fowler transform which allow us to consider a 2-dimensional dynamical system thus giving a geometrical point of view on the problem. A key role in the analysis is played by an energy function which is a dynamical interpretation of the Pohozaev function used in [20,21]
