SynopsisSolution branches of a semilinear elliptic problem with Neumann boundary conditions are studied at its corank-2 bifurcation points. It is shown that generally there are exactly four different nontrivial solution branches passing through a corank-2 bifurcation point. The bifurcating solution branches are parametrised via a nonsingular enlarged problem. Branch switching at bifurcation points is incorporated with a continuation method.

SynopsisWe prove symmetry properties of positive solutions of semilinear elliptic equations Δu + f(u) = 0 with Neumann boundary conditions in an infinite sectorial cone. We establish that any positive solution u of such equations in an infinite sectorial cone ∑α in ℝ3 is spherically symmetric if the amplitude α of ∑α is not greater than π.

AbstractWe consider semilinear elliptic problems of the form Δu + g(u) = f(x) with Neumann boundary conditions or Δu+λ1u+g(u) = f(x) with Dirichlet boundary conditions, and we derive conditions on g and f under which an upper bound on the number of solutions can be obtained.

By means of Minimax theory, we study the existence of one nontrivial solution and multiple nontrivial solutions for a fourth-order semilinear elliptic problem with Navier boundary conditions.
