Abstract

In this paper we obtain the existence of a radial solution for some elliptic non-local problem with constraints. The problem arises from some mean field equation which models, among other things, a system of self-gravitating particles when one looks for its stationary solutions. We include the cases of Maxwell—Boltzmann, Fermi—Dirac and polytropic statistics.
