Positive solutions of semilinear elliptic problems in unbounded domains with unbounded boundary (Q877002)

This paper is concerned with the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions of the equation \(-\Delta u+ u= u^{p-1}\), \(2< p< 2^*={2N\over N-2}\), with Dirichlet zero data, in an unbounded smooth domain \(\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N\) having unbounded boundary. Under the assumptions: \((\text{h}_1)\) \(\exists\tau_1,\tau_2,\dots, \tau_k\in\mathbb{R}^+\setminus\{0\}\), \(1\leq k\leq N-2\), such that \[ (x_1,x_2,\dots, x_N)\in\Omega\Leftrightarrow (x_1,\dots, x_{i-1}, x_i+ \tau_i,\dots, x_N)\in\Omega,\;\forall i= 1,2,\dots, k, \] \((\text{h}_2)\) \(\exists R\in\mathbb{R}^+\setminus\{0\}\) such that \(\mathbb{R}^N\setminus\Omega\subset\{(x_1, x_2,\dots, x_N)\in\mathbb{R}^N: \sum^N_{j= k+1} x^2_j\leq R^2\}\) the existence of at least \(k+ 1\) solutions is proved.
