A Lane-Emden system of free boundary type: existence, uniqueness and monotonicity of solutions

Analysis of PDEs 2025-08-05 v1

Abstract

We consider a Hamiltonian system of free boundary type, showing first uniform bounds and existence of solutions and of the free boundary. Then, for any smooth and bounded domain, we prove uniqueness of positive solutions in a suitable interval and show that the associated energies and boundary values have a monotonic behavior. Some consequences are discussed about the parametrization of the unbounded Rabinowitz continuum for a class of superlinear strongly coupled elliptic systems.
