We consider the elliptic equation $-\Delta u = f(u)$ in the whole $\R^{2m}$, where $f$ is of bistable type. It is known that there exists a saddle-shaped solution in $\R^{2m}$. This is a solution which changes sign in $\R^{2m}$ and vanishes…

In this paper we prove the uniqueness of the saddle-shaped solution to the semilinear nonlocal elliptic equation $(-\Delta)^\gamma u = f(u)$ in $\mathbb R^{2m}$, where $\gamma \in (0,1)$ and $f$ is of Allen-Cahn type. Moreover, we prove…
This paper addresses saddle-shaped solutions to the semilinear equation $L_K u = f(u)$ in $\mathbb{R}^{2m}$, where $L_K$ is a linear elliptic integro-differential operator with a radially symmetric kernel $K$, and $f$ is of Allen-Cahn type.…

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 \[…
This is the first of two papers concerning saddle-shaped solutions to the semilinear equation $L_K u = f(u)$ in $\mathbb{R}^{2m}$, where $L_K$ is a linear elliptic integro-differential operator and $f$ is of Allen-Cahn type. Saddle-shaped…
We investigate symmetry properties of solutions to equations of the form $$ -\Delta u = \frac{a}{|x|^2} u + f(|x|, u)$$ in R^N for $N \geq 4$, with at most critical nonlinearities. By using geometric arguments, we prove that solutions with…
The paper proves Liouville-type results for stable solutions of semilinear elliptic PDEs with convex nonlinearity, posed on the entire Euclidean space. Extensions to solutions which are stable outside a compact set are also presented.
In the spirit of Berestycki and Lions, we prove the existence of saddle type nodal solutions for the Choquard equation \[ -\Delta u + u= \big(I_\alpha \ast F(u)\big)F'(u)\qquad \text{ in }\;\mathbb{R}^N \] where $N\geq 2$ and $I_\alpha$ is…
We establish a Liouville type result for stable solutions for a wide class of second order semilinear elliptic equations in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with sign-changing nonlinearity $f$. Under the hypothesis that the equation does not have any…
We study the branch of semi-stable and unstable solutions (i.e., those whose Morse index is at most one) of the Dirichlet boundary value problem $-\Delta u=\frac{\lambda f(x)}{(1-u)^2}$ on a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \R^N$, which…
We study finite Morse index solutions to the non-local Gelfand-Liouville problem $$ (-\Delta)^su=e^u\quad\mathrm{in}\quad \mathbb{R}^n,$$ for every $s\in(0,1)$ and $n>2s$. Precisely, we prove non-existence of finite Morse index solutions…
In this paper we prove the following long-standing conjecture: stable solutions to semilinear elliptic equations are bounded (and thus smooth) in dimension $n \leq 9$. This result, that was only known to be true for $n\leq4$, is optimal:…
We establish Liouville type theorems for elliptic systems with various classes of non-linearities on $\mathbb{R}^N$. We show among other things, that a system has no semi-stable solution in any dimension, whenever the infimum of the…
We study properties of the semilinear elliptic equation $\Delta u = 1/u$ on domains in $R^n$, with an eye toward nonnegative singular solutions as limits of positive smooth solutions. We prove the nonexistence of such solutions in low…
