An asymptotic monotonicity formula for minimizers of elliptic systems of Allen-Cahn type and the Liouville property

Christos Sourdis

Abstract:
We prove an asymptotic monotonicity formula for bounded, globally minimizing solutions (in the sense of Morse) to a class of semilinear elliptic systems of the form $\Delta u= W_u(u)$, $x\in \mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$, with $W:\mathbb{R}^m\to \mathbb{R}$, $m\geq 1$, nonnegative and vanishing at exactly one point (at least in the closure of the image of the considered solution $u$ ). As an application, we can prove a Liouville type theorem under various assumptions.
