dc.description.abstract | We study the uniqueness of radial ground states for the semilinear elliptic partial differential equation | |
dc.description.abstract | Delta u + f(u) = 0 (*) | |
dc.description.abstract | in R-N. We assume that the function f has two zeros, the origin and u(0) > 0. Above u(0) the function f is positive, is locally Lipschitz continuous and satisfies convexity and growth conditions of a superlinear nature. Below u(0), f is assumed to be nonpositive, non-identically zero and merely continuous. | |
dc.description.abstract | Our results are obtained through a careful analysis of the solutions of an associated initial-value problem, and the use of a monotone separation theorem. | |
dc.description.abstract | It is known that, for a large class of functions f, the ground states of (*) are radially symmetric. In these cases our result implies that (*) possesses at most one ground state. | |
