scholarly journals A monotonicity result under symmetry and Morse index constraints in the plane

Author(s):

This paper deals with solutions of semilinear elliptic equations of the type \[ \left\{\begin{array}{@{}ll} -\Delta u = f(|x|, u) \qquad & \text{ in } \Omega, \\ u= 0 & \text{ on } \partial \Omega, \end{array} \right. \] where Ω is a radially symmetric domain of the plane that can be bounded or unbounded. We consider solutions u that are invariant by rotations of a certain angle θ and which have a bound on their Morse index in spaces of functions invariant by these rotations. We can prove that or u is radial, or, else, there exists a direction $e\in \mathcal {S}$ such that u is symmetric with respect to e and it is strictly monotone in the angular variable in a sector of angle θ/2. The result applies to least-energy and nodal least-energy solutions in spaces of functions invariant by rotations and produces multiplicity results.

In this paper we study the existence of least energy solutions to subcritical semilinear elliptic equations of the formwhere Ω is an unbounded domain in RN and f is a C1 function, with appropriate superlinear growth. We state general conditions on the domain Ω so that the associated functional has a nontrivial critical point, thus yielding a solution to the equation. Asymptotic results for domains stretched in one direction are also provided.

We consider non-autonomous semilinear elliptic equations of the type [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is either a ball or an annulus centered at the origin, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text] on bounded sets of [Formula: see text]. We address the question of estimating the Morse index [Formula: see text] of a sign changing radial solution [Formula: see text]. We prove that [Formula: see text] for every [Formula: see text] and that [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] is even. If [Formula: see text] is superlinear the previous estimates become [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively, where [Formula: see text] denotes the number of nodal sets of [Formula: see text], i.e. of connected components of [Formula: see text]. Consequently, every least energy nodal solution [Formula: see text] is not radially symmetric and [Formula: see text] as [Formula: see text] along the sequence of even exponents [Formula: see text].

Bifurcation of non-radial solutions from radial solutions of a semilinear elliptic equation with negative exponent in expanding annuli of ℝ2 is studied. To obtain the main results, we use a blow-up argument via the Morse index of the regular entire solutions of the equationThe main results of this paper can be seen as applications of the results obtained recently for finite Morse index solutions of the equationwith N ⩾ 2 and p > 0.

In this paper, we consider the Hénon problem in the ball with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We study the asymptotic profile of radial solutions and then deduce the exact computation of their Morse index when the exponent [Formula: see text] is close to [Formula: see text]. Next we focus on the planar case and describe the asymptotic profile of some solutions which minimize the energy among functions which are invariant for reflection and rotations of a given angle [Formula: see text]. By considerations based on the Morse index we see that, depending on the values of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], such least energy solutions can be radial, or nonradial and different one from another.

We consider the following problemwhere for all ≦f(x,u)≦c1up-1 + c2u for all x ∈ℝN,u≧0 with c1>0,c2∈(0, 1), 2<p<(2N/(N – 2)) if N ≧ 3, 2 ≧ + ∝ if N = 2. We prove that (*) has at least two positive solutions ifand h≩0 in ℝN, where S is the best Sobolev constant and

This paper is devoted to the study of the elliptic problems with a critical potential, where N ≥ 3, λ ≥ 0 and 0 < q < 1 < p ≤ (N + 2)/(N − 2). Existence, multiplicity, behaviour in x = 0 and bifurcation are considered under some hypotheses in h and g.
