In this paper, we are concerned with the positive continuous entire solutions of the Wolff type integral equation $$ u(x)=c(x)W_{\beta,\gamma}(u^{-p})(x), \quad u>0 ~in~ R^n, $$ where $n \geq 1$, $p>0$, $\gamma>1$, $\beta>0$ and $\beta\gamma \neq n$. In addition, $c(x)$ is a double bounded function. Such an integral equation is related to the study of the conformal geometry and nonlinear PDEs, such as $\gamma$-Laplace equations and $k$-Hessian equations with negative exponents. By some Wolff type potential integral estimates, we obtain the asymptotic rates and the integrability of positive solutions, and discuss the existence and nonexistence results of the radial solutions.
Keywords: asymptotic behavior., Wolff potential, $\gamma$-Laplace equation, $k$-Hessian equation, conformal geometry.
