Review text

The author considers a semilinear elliptic equation in the whole plane \[ \Delta u+f(u)=0, \qquad \vec X=(x,y)\in\mathbb R^2. \] The author proves that \(\Delta u+f(u)=0\) has a unique entire solution \(u(x,y)\) on \(\mathbb R^2\) that has the same sign as the function \(xy\), where \(f\) is a balanced bistable function like \(f(u)=u-u^3\). To this end the author combines bifurcation methods and recent results on the qualitative properties for elliptic equations in unbounded domains.
