Saddle-shaped positive solutions for elliptic systems with bistable nonlinearity

  • Received: 12 November 2019 Accepted: 06 February 2020 Published: 28 February 2020
  • In this paper we prove the existence of infinitely many saddle-shaped positive solutions for non-cooperative nonlinear elliptic systems with bistable nonlinearities in the phase-separation regime. As an example, we prove that the system $ \begin{cases} -\Delta u = u-u^3-\Lambda uv^2 \\ -\Delta v = v-v^3-\Lambda u^2v \\ u,v \gt 0 \end{cases} \qquad \text{in }\mathbb{R}^N, \text{with }\Lambda \gt 1, $ has infinitely many saddle-shape solutions in dimension $2$ or higher. This is in sharp contrast with the case $\Lambda \in (0, 1]$, for which, on the contrary, only constant solutions exist.
