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

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.
