Minimum action solutions of non-linear elliptic equations in unbounded domains containing a plane

Abstract

SynopsisLet d ≧ 1 be an integer and ω ⊂ℝd a smooth bounded domain and consider the elliptic equation − Δu = g(u) on Ω = ℝ2 × ω. We prove that under (almost) necessary and sufficient conditions on the continuous function g: ℝm→ ℝm the above equation has a minimum-action solution.
