We study, on the entire space RN(N
1), the diffusive logistic equation

u=
uup, u

and its generalizations. Here p > 1 is a constant. Problem (1.1) plays an important role in understanding various population models and some other problems in applied mathematics. When
= 1 and p = 2, it is also known as the Fisher equation and KPP equation, due to the pioneering works of Fisher [8] and Kolmogoroff, Petrovsky and Piscounoff [18].
