Existence Of Positive Solutions

By using the mountain pass lemma, we study the existence of positive solutions for the equation−Δu(x)=λ(u|u|+u)(x)forx∈Ωtogether with Dirichlet boundary conditions and show that for everyλ<λ1, whereλ1is the first eigenvalue of−Δu=λuinΩwith the Dirichlet boundary conditions, the equation has a positive solution while no positive solution exists forλ≥λ1.

Symmetry Properties

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.
