contents In this paper we show that the number of radial positive solutions of the following critical problem $$ Δ_p u(x) + λK(|x|) \,u(x) \, |u(x)|^{q-2} =0\,,$$ $$ u(x)>0 \quad |x|<1,$$ $$ u(x)=0 \quad |x|=1,$$ where $q= \frac{np}{n-p}$, $\frac{2n}{n+2} \le p \le 2$ and $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$, undergoes a bifurcation phenomenon. Namely, the problem admits one solution for any $λ>0$ if $K$ is steep enough at $0$, while it admits no solutions for $λ$ small and two solutions for $λ$ large if $K$ is too flat at $0$. The existence of the second solution is new, even in the classical Laplace case. The proofs use Fowler transformation and dynamical systems tools.
