    Si dimostra l'esistenza di almeno una soluzione omoclina per sistemi Lagrangiani della forma u¨+u=α(t)G(u)-\ddot{u}+u=\alpha\left(t\right)\nabla G\left(u\right)in RN\mathbf{R^{\textrm{N}}} dove GϵC2(RN,R)G\epsilon\mathcal{C}^{2}\left(\mathbf{R^{\textrm{N}}},\mathbf{R}\right) è superquadratica e αϵC1(R,R)\alpha\epsilon\mathcal{C^{\textrm{1}}}\left(\mathbf{R\textrm{,}R}\right) soddisfa la condizione limtα˙(t)=0lim_{\mid t\mid\rightarrow\infty}\dot{\alpha}\left(t\right)=0. Il metodo è variazionale: le soluzioni omocline del sistema risultano essere punti critici di un opportuno funzionale d'azione. Si dimostra l'esistenza di almeno un punto critico non banale usando l'analisi dei pmblemi \textquotedbl{}all'infinito\textquotedbl{} e argomenti di confronto sui livelli.We prove the existence of homoclinic solutions for second order Lagrangian systems of the typeu¨+u=α(t)G(u)-\ddot{u}+u=\alpha\left(t\right)\nabla G\left(u\right) in RN\mathbf{R^{\textrm{N}}} where GϵC2(RN,R)G\epsilon\mathcal{C}^{2}\left(\mathbf{R^{\textrm{N}}},\mathbf{R}\right) is superquadratic and αϵC1(R,R)\alpha\epsilon\mathcal{C^{\textrm{1}}}\left(\mathbf{R\textrm{,}R}\right) satisfies the condition limtα˙(t)=0lim_{\mid t\mid\rightarrow\infty}\dot{\alpha}\left(t\right)=0. The method is variational solutions being found as critical points of a suitable action functional. We prove the existence of al least one non-trivial critical point using the analysis of problems \textquotedbl{}at infinity\textquotedbl{} and level comparison arguments

    We study the existence of positive solutions on RN+1\R^{N+1} to semilinear elliptic equation Δu+u=f(u)-\Delta u+u=f(u) where N1N\geq 1 and ff is modeled on the power case f(u)=up1uf(u)=|u|^{p-1}u. Denoting with cc the mountain pass level of \f(u)=\tfrac 12\|u\|^{2}_{H^{1}(\R^{N})}-\int_{\R^{N}}F(u)\, dx, uH1(RN)u\in H^{1}(\R^{N}) (F(s)=0sf(t)dtF(s)=\int_{0}^{s}f(t)\, dt), we show that for any b[0,c)b\in [0,c) there exists a positive bounded solution vbC2(RN+1)v_{b}\in C^{2}(\R^{N+1}) such that Evb(y)=12yvb(,y)L2(RN)2V(vb(,y))=bE_{v_{b}}(y)=\tfrac 12\|\partial_{y}v_{b}(\cdot,y)\|^{2}_{L^{2}(\R^{N})}-V(v_{b}(\cdot,y))=-b. We also characterize the monotonicity, symmetry and periodicity properties of vbv_{b}

    We consider a class of semilinear elliptic system of the form Δu(x,y)+W(u(x,y))=0-\Delta u(x,y)+\nabla W(u(x,y))=0 on R2\R^2, where W:R2RW:\R^2\to\R is a double well non negative symmetric potential. We show, via variational methods, that if the set of solutions to the one dimensional system which connect the two minima of WW as x±x\to\pm\infty has a discrete structure, then the two dimensional system has infinitely many layered solutions with prescribed energy

    We consider a class of semilinear elliptic system of the form −∆u(x,y)+∇W(u(x,y))=0, (x,y)∈R2, where W : R2 → R is a double well non negative symmetric potential. We show, via variational methods, that if the set of solutions to the one dimensional system −q ̈(x) + ∇W(q(x)) = 0, x ∈ R, which connect the two minima of W as x → ±∞ has a discrete structure, then the system has infinitely many layered solutions

    We consider a class of semilinear elliptic equations of the form \begin{equation}\label{eq:abs} -\Delta u(x,y,z)+a(x)W'(u(x,y,z))=0,\quad (x,y,z)\in\R^{3}, \end{equation} where a:RRa:\R\to\R is a periodic, positive, even function and, in the simplest case, W:RRW:\R\to\R is a double well even potential. Under non degeneracy conditions on the set of minimal solutions to the associated one dimensional heteroclinic problem we show, via variational methods the existence of infinitely many geometrically distinct solutions uu of (\ref{eq:abs}) verifying u(x,y,z)±1u(x,y,z)\to\pm 1 as x±x\to\pm\infty uniformly with respect to (y,z)R2(y,z)\in\R^{2} and such that yu≢0\partial_{y}u\not\equiv0, zu≢0\partial_{z}u\not\equiv0 in R3\R^{3}

We show, via variational methods, that if the set of minimal heteroclinic solutions to the one dimensional system -ddot q(x)+ abla W(q(x))=0, xinR, up to translations, is finite and constituted by not degenerate functions, then the system has infinitely many solutions uin C^{2}(R^{2})^{2}, parametrized by an energy value, which are periodic in the variable y and satisfy lim_{x opminfty}u(x,y)=a_{pm} for any yinR
