In this paper we study the semilinear elliptic problemwhere k > 0, p ≥ 6 and Q is a bounded function. We prove the existence of real-valued W 2,p -solutions, both for decaying and for periodic coefficient Q. In addition, a nonlinear far-field relation is derived for these solutions.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 35J20 (primary) 35J05 (secondary).
