We consider an equation with exponential nonlinearity under the Dirichlet boundary condition. For a one- or two-dimensional domain, a global solution has been obtained. In this paper, to extend the result to a higher dimensional case, we concentrate on the radial solutions in an annulus. First, we construct a time-local solution with an abstract theory of differential equations. Next, we show that decreasing energy exists in this problem. Finally, we establish a global solution for the sufficiently small initial value and parameter by Sobolev embedding and Poincaré inequalities together with some technical estimates. Moreover, when we take the smaller parameter, we prove that the global solution tends to zero as time goes to infinity.
