In recent years there has been a growing interest in the existence and asymptotic behavior of entire solutions for second order nonlinear elliptic equations. By an entire solution we mean a solution of the elliptic equation under consideration which is guaranteed to exist in the whole Euclidean N-space RN, N ≧ 2. For standard results on the subject the reader is referred to the papers [2-7, 9-21].

The study of entire solutions, which at an early stage was restricted to simple equations of the form Δu + f(x, u) = 0, x ∊ RN, Δ being the N-dimensional Laplacian, has now been extended and generalized to elliptic equations of the type
