contents We study the weighted elliptic equation \begin{equation} -div(|x|^{-2a}\nabla u)=|x|^{-bp}|u|^{p-2}u~~~\mbox{in}~\mathbb{R}^N ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(0.1)\end{equation} with $N\geq 2$, which arises from the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities. Under the assumptions of finite energy and $a_1+a_2=N-2$, for nonnegative solutions we prove the equivalence between equation (0.1) with $a=a_1$ and equation (0.1) with $a=a_2$. Without finite energy assumptions, for $2\leq p<2^*$ we give the optimal parameter range in which nonnegative solutions of (0.1) in $\mathbf{L}^\infty_{Loc}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ must be radially symmetric, and give a complete classification for these solutions in this range.

We study the weighted elliptic equation \begin{equation} -div(|x|^{-2a}\nabla u)=|x|^{-bp}|u|^{p-2}u~~~\mbox{in}~\mathbb{R}^N ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(0.1)\end{equation} with $N\geq 2$, which arises from the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities. Under the assumptions of finite energy and $a_1+a_2=N-2$, for nonnegative solutions we prove the equivalence between equation (0.1) with $a=a_1$ and equation (0.1) with $a=a_2$. Without finite energy assumptions, for $2\leq p<2^*$ we give the optimal parameter range in which nonnegative solutions of (0.1) in $\mathbf{L}^\infty_{Loc}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ must be radially symmetric, and give a complete classification for these solutions in this range.
