The Liouville property and boundary value problems for semilinear elliptic equations on noncompact Riemannian manifolds (Q416990): Difference between revisions

The author studies the asymptotic behaviour of solutions of semilinear elliptic partial differential equations on noncompact manifolds . In particular, he studies PDEs for the Laplacian where the nonlinear term is Lipschitz and fulfills certain symmetry and monotonicity conditions. The paper focuses on two issues: When does the PDE fulfills the Liouville property for bounded solutions and when do solutions for certain boundary values exists? Two solutions are called equivalent if their \(C^0\)-distance outside compact subsets goes to zero while the compact sets exhaust the manifold. This notion allows to study boundary value problems, i.e. to study the question whether there exist a solution in a certain equivalence class.
