Nonexistence of nonconstant global minimizers with limit at $\infty$ of semilinear elliptic equations in all of $R^N$

Abstract

We prove nonexistence of nonconstant global minimizers with limit at infinity of the semilinear elliptic equation $-\Delta u=f(u)$ in the whole $R^N$, where $f\in C^1(R)$ is a general nonlinearity and $N\ge 1$ is any dimension. As a corollary of this result, we establish nonexistence of nonconstant bounded radial global minimizers of the previous equation.
