Depending on various situations for the prescribed function in the nonlinear term, the complete structure of radial solutions in terms of initial data will be offered., Article}, pages = {287--307}, title = {The structure of radial solutions for elliptic equations arising from the spherical Onsager vortex}, volume = {61}, year = {2009} }
