    Connecting orbits for some classes of almost periodic Lagrangian systems

    No full text
    The existence is proved, by means of variational arguments, of infinitely many heteroclinic solutions connecting possibly degenerate equilibria for a class of almost periodic Lagrangian system. An analogous multiplicity result is then established for homoclinic solutions of systems with an almost periodic singular potential.ou

    We study the existence of positive solutions on RN+1\R^{N+1} to semilinear elliptic equation −Δu+u=f(u)-\Delta u+u=f(u) where N≥1N\geq 1 and ff is modeled on the power case f(u)=∣u∣p−1uf(u)=|u|^{p-1}u. Denoting with cc the mountain pass level of \f(u)=\tfrac 12\|u\|^{2}_{H^{1}(\R^{N})}-\int_{\R^{N}}F(u)\, dx, u∈H1(RN)u\in H^{1}(\R^{N}) (F(s)=∫0sf(t) dtF(s)=\int_{0}^{s}f(t)\, dt), we show that for any b∈[0,c)b\in [0,c) there exists a positive bounded solution vb∈C2(RN+1)v_{b}\in C^{2}(\R^{N+1}) such that Evb(y)=12∥∂yvb(⋅,y)∥L2(RN)2−V(vb(⋅,y))=−bE_{v_{b}}(y)=\tfrac 12\|\partial_{y}v_{b}(\cdot,y)\|^{2}_{L^{2}(\R^{N})}-V(v_{b}(\cdot,y))=-b. We also characterize the monotonicity, symmetry and periodicity properties of vbv_{b}

    We consider a class of semilinear elliptic equations of the form −Δu(x,y)+a(εx)W′(u(x,y))=0,(x,y)∈R2-\Delta u(x,y)+a(\varepsilon x)W'(u(x,y))=0,\quad (x,y)\in\R^{2} where \e>0, a:R→Ra:\R\to\R is an almost periodic, positive function and W:R→RW:\R\to\R is modeled on the classical two well Ginzburg-Landau potential W(s)=(s2−1)2W(s)=(s^{2}-1)^{2}. We show via variational methods that if \e is sufficiently small and aa is not constant then the equation admits infinitely many two dimensional entire solutions verifying the asymptotic conditions u(x,y)→±1u(x,y)\to\pm 1 as x→±∞x\to\pm\infty uniformly with respect to y∈Ry\in\R
