The behavior of solutions of the nonlinear biharmonic equation in an unbounded domain (Q2341977)

The article deals with a biharmonic equation of the form \(\Delta^2 u=e^u\), where \(u=u(x_1,x_2)\) and \((x_1,x_2)\in[0,+\infty)\times\mathbb R\). The work is focused on the study of the classical solutions with period 1 in the variable \(x_2\). The main results concern the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions as \(x_1\rightarrow\infty\). In fact, the results can be easily generalized to periodic in \(x_2\) solutions with arbitrary period applying a linear transformation and an addition of a suitable constant.
