Gelfand problem on a large spherical cap

Analysis of PDEs 2021-08-06 v2

Abstract

We study the behaviour of the minimal solution to the Gelfand problem on a spherical cap under the Dirichlet boundary conditions. The asymptotic behaviour of the solution is discussed as the cap approaches the whole sphere. The results are based on the sharp estimate of the torsion function of the spherical cap in terms of the principle eigenvalue which we derive in this work.
