This paper is concerned with the structure of the solutions to subcritical elliptic
equations related to the Matukuma equation. In certain cases the complete structure of the
solution set is known, and is comparable to that of the original Matukuma equation. Here we
derive sufficient conditions for a more complicated solution set consisting of; (i)
crossing solutions for small initial conditions and large initial conditions; (ii) at least
one open interval of slowly decaying solutions; and (iii) at least two rapidly decaying
solutions. As a consequence we obtain multiplicity results for rapidly decaying, or minimal
solutions.
