De Giorgi type results for equations with nonlocal lower-order terms

Abstract

It is known that the De Giorgi's conjecture does not hold in two dimensions for semilinear elliptic equations with a nonzero drift, in general, Δu+qu+f(u)=0  in   R2, \Delta u+ q\cdot \nabla u+f(u)=0 \ \ \text{in } \ \ \mathbb R^2, when q=(0,c)q=(0,-c) for c0c\neq 0. This equation arises in the modeling of Bunsen burner flames. Bunsen flames are usually made of two flames: a diffusion flame and a premixed flame. In this article, we prove De Giorgi type results, and stability conjecture, for the following local-nonlocal counterpart of the above equation (with a nonlocal premixed flame) in two dimensions, Δu+cL[u]+f(u)=0in  Rn,\Delta u + c L[u] + f(u)=0 \quad \text{in} \ \ \mathbb R^n, when LL is a nonlocal operator, fC1(R)f\in C^1(\mathbb R) and cR+c\in\mathbb R^+. In addition, we provide a priori estimates for the above equation, when n1n\ge 1, with various jumping kernels. The operator Δ+cL\Delta+cL is an infinitesimal generator of jump-diffusion processes in the context of probability theory.
