This article is concerned with boundary value problems of the type (BVP)u″ + g(r)u′ + f(u) = 0,r> 0;u′(0) = 0, limr → ∞u(r) = 0; wheref(0) = 0. Such problems arise in the study of semi-linear elliptic differential equations in ℝn. It is shown that (BVP) has at most one non-negative non-trivial solution under appropriate conditions onfandg. The conditions are weaker than those given by Peletier and Serrin [6], who considered the special caseg(r) = (n- 1)/r,n= 2, 3,⋯.
