Sign-changing solution for an overdetermined elliptic problem on unbounded domain

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We prove the existence of two smooth families of unbounded domains in mathbbRN+1 with Ngeq1 such that �egin{equation} -Delta u=lambda u,, ext{in},,Omega, ,, u=0,,,partial_

u u= ext{const},, ext{on},,partialOmega

onumber end{equation} admits a sign-changing solution. The domains bifurcate from the straight cylinder B1imesmathbbR, where B1 is the unit ball in mathbbRN. These results can be regarded as counterexamples to the Berenstein conjecture on unbounded domain. Unlike most previous papers in this direction, a very delicate issue here is that there may be two-dimensional kernel space at some bifurcation point. Thus a Crandall-Rabinowitz type bifurcation theorem from high-dimensional kernel space is also established to achieve the goal.
