Radial Solutions to Nonlinear Elliptic Boundary Value Problems

We will attempt to establish the properties (existence, uniqueness,bifurcation, etc.) of radial solutions to elliptic boundary value problems. This is a research area that has attracted a lot of attention in the last thirty years as radial solutions play a central role in the study of regularity, concentrated compactness, and related issues for nonradial solutions.
