Abstract: We prove the existence and asymptotic expansion of a large class of solutions to nonlinear Helmholtz equations of the form �egin{equation*} (Delta - lambda^2) u = N[u], end{equation*} where $Delta=-su{m}_{j}partia{l}_j^2$ is the Laplacian on $mathbb{R}^n$ with sign convention that it is positive as an operator, $lambda$ is a positive real number, and $N[u]$ is a nonlinear operator that is a sum of monomials of degree $geqp$ in $u$, $overlineu$ and their derivatives of order up to two, for some $pgeq2$. Nonlinear Helmholtz eigenfunctions with $N[u]=pm|u{|}^{p-1}u$ were first considered by Guti'errez. Such equations are of interest in part because, for certain nonlinearities $N[u]$, they furnish standing waves for nonlinear evolution equations, that is, solutions that are time-harmonic. We show that, under the condition $(p-1)(n-1)/2>2$ and $k>(n-1)/2$, for every $fin{H}^{k+2}(mathbb{S}^{n-1})$ of sufficiently small norm, there is a nonlinear Helmholtz function taking the form �egin{equation*} u(r, omega) = r^{-(n-1)/2} Big( e^{-ilambda r} f(omega) + e^{+ilambda r} g(omega) + O(r^{-epsilon}) Big), ext{ as } r o infty, quad epsilon > 0, end{equation*} for some $gin{H}^k(mathbb{S}^{n-1})$. Moreover, we prove the result in the general setting of asymptotically conic manifolds.
