Semilinear elliptic equations (35J61)

Abstract: We study the semilinear elliptic equation $Deltau+g(x,u,Du)=0$ in $R^n$. The nonlinearities $g$ can have arbitrary growth in $u$ and $Du$, including in particular the exponential behavior. No restriction is imposed on the behavior of $g(x,z,p)$ at infinity except in the variable $x$. We obtain a solution $u$ that is locally unique and inherits many of the symmetry properties of $g$. Positivity and asymptotic behavior of the solution are also addressed. Our results can be extended to other domains like half-space and exterior domains. We give some examples.

Review text

The paper deals with the existence and symmetry properties of solutions decaying to zero at infinity for the semilinear elliptic equation \(\Delta u+g(x,u,Du)=0\) in \({\mathbb R}^n\) (\(n\geq 3\)), where \(g:{\mathbb R}^n\times{\mathbb R}\times{\mathbb R}^n\rightarrow {\mathbb R}\) includes a large class of nonlinear functions, such as functions with polynomial- and exponential-type growths in their second and third variables. Under natural hypotheses, the authors establish sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions. Positivity and symmetry of solutions are also considered in the present paper, as well as the asymptotic behavior of solutions and their gradients.
