An elliptic PDE is studied which is a perturbation of an autonomous
equation. The existence of a nontrivial solution is proven via
variational methods. The domain of the equation is unbounded, which
imposes a lack of compactness on the variational problem. In addition,
a popular monotonicity condition on the nonlinearity is not assumed. In
an earlier paper with this assumption, a solution was obtained using a
simple application of topological (Brouwer) degree. Here, a more subtle
degree theory argument must be used.
