Abstrakt: We investigate the existence and uniqueness of bounded, radially symmetric solutions in R3of Δuf(u)0, where f(u) is continuous, piecewise linear, and has three distinct real zeros. We give a detailed construction of the first two bound states which satisfy as r→∞. The first is the well known positive bound-state solution. The second solution changes sign and has exactly one zero in (0,∞). We prove that both of these solutions are unique.
