Abstract: We prove nonexistence of nonconstant global minimizers with limit at infinity of the semilinear elliptic equation $-Deltau=f(u)$ in the whole $R^N$, where $fin{C}^1(R)$ is a general nonlinearity and $Ngeq1$ is any dimension. As a corollary of this result, we establish nonexistence of nonconstant bounded radial global minimizers of the previous equation.
