Semilinear elliptic equations play an important role in many areas ofmathematics and its applications to physics and other sciences. This bookpresents a wealth of modern methods to solve such equations including thesystematic use of the Pohozaev identities for the description of sharpestimates for radial solutions and the fibring method. Existence results forequations with supercritical growth and nonzero righthand sides aregiven.Readers of this exposition will be advanced students and researchers inmathematics physics and other sciences who want to learn about specificmethods to tackle problems involving semilinear elliptic equations. «
