Asymptotic behavior of stable radial solutions of semilinear elliptic equations in \(\mathbb R^N\) (Q2385798): Difference between revisions

The present study deals with the stability of nonconstant radial solutions of \[ -\Delta u= f(u)\qquad\text{in }\mathbb{R}^N, \] where \(f\in C^1(\mathbb{R})\). The author considers classical solutions \(u\in C^2(\mathbb{R}^N)\). He proves that every nonconstant radial stable solution (not necessarily bounded) satisfies \[ |u(r)|\geq Mr^{-N/2+ \sqrt{N-1}+ 2} \] if \(N\neq 10\), and \(|u(r)|\geq M\log r\) if \(N= 10\); \(\forall r\geq r_0\), for some \(M\), \(r_0> 0\). The result is optimal for every \(N\geq 1\), but there is a subtle difference between the case \(N\geq 2\) and \(N= 1\). The techniques using by the author in these cases are completely different.
