In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of an entire solution u of the equation u+ Ke2u= 0 (1.1) in R2. Equation (1.1) arises in the problem of finding a Riemannian metric which realizes the given function K as its Gaussian curvature and is conformal to the standard Euclidean metric in R2. We refer the reader to [CN1] for a brief description of the background and the history of this problem. The study of the equation (1.1) dates back to at least 1930’s but it seems that a complete classification of all solutions of (1.1) was obtained only very recently in [CN1, CN2] and [C] for the case of K 5 0 in R2. To state the result in [C], we introduce the quantity 1 as1= sup
