Rabinowitz Alternative for Non-cooperative Elliptic Systems on Geodesic Balls

The purpose of this paper is to study properties of continua (closed connected sets) of nontrivial solutions of non-cooperative elliptic systems considered on geodesic balls in Sn{S^{n}}. In particular, we show that if the geodesic ball is a hemisphere, then all these continua are unbounded. It is a...

description The purpose of this paper is to study properties of continua (closed connected sets) of nontrivial solutions of non-cooperative elliptic systems considered on geodesic balls in Sn{S^{n}}. In particular, we show that if the geodesic ball is a hemisphere, then all these continua are unbounded. It is also shown that the phenomenon of global symmetry-breaking bifurcation of such solutions occurs. Since the problem is variational and SO⁡(n){\operatorname{SO}(n)}-symmetric, we apply the techniques of equivariant bifurcation theory to prove the main results of this article. As the topological tool, we use the degree theory for SO⁡(n){\operatorname{SO}(n)}-invariant strongly indefinite functionals defined in [A. Gołȩbiewska and S. A. Rybicki, Global bifurcations of critical orbits of G-invariant strongly indefinite functionals, Nonlinear Anal. 74 2011, 5, 1823–1834].
