contents We are concerned with positive radial solutions of the inhomogeneous elliptic equation $Δu+K(|x|)u^p+μf(|x|)=0$ on $\mathbb{R}^N$, where $N\ge 3$, $μ>0$ and $K$ and $f$ are nonnegative nontrivial functions. If $K(r)\sim r^α$, $α>-2$, near $r=0$, $K(r)\sim r^β$, $β>-2$, near $r=\infty$ and certain assumptions on $f$ are imposed, then the problem has a unique positive radial singular solution for a certain range of $μ$. We show that existence of a positive radial singular solution is equivalent to existence of infinitely many positive bounded solutions which are not uniformly bounded, if $p$ is between the critical Sobolev exponent $p_S(α)$ and Joseph-Lundgren exponent $p_{JL}(α)$. Using these theorems, we establish existence of infinitely many positive bounded solutions which are not uniformly bounded, for $p_S(α)<p<p_{JL}(α)$ if $K(r)=r^{-α}$, $α>-2$.
