Abstract

We consider a class of semilinear elliptic equations of the form $$ -\Delta u(x,y)+W'(u(x,y))=0,\quad (x,y)\in\R^{2} $$ where $W:\R\to\R$ is modeled on the classical two well Ginzburg-Landau potential $W(s)=(s^{2}-1)^{2}$. We show, via variational methods, that for any $j\geq 2$, the equation has a solution $v_{j}\in C^{2}(\R^{2})$ with $|v_{j}(x,y)|\leq 1$ for any $(x,y)\in\R^{2}$ satisfying the following symmetric and asymptotic conditions: setting $\tilde v_{j}(\rho,\theta)=v_{j}(\rho\cos( \theta),\rho\sin(\theta))$, there results $\tilde v_{j}(\rho,\frac{\pi}{2}+\theta)=-\tilde v_{j}(\rho,\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta)$, $\tilde v_{j}(\rho,\theta+\frac{\pi}{j})=-\tilde v_{j}(\rho,\theta)$, $\forall (\rho,\theta)\in \R^{+}\times\R$ and $\tilde v_{j}(\rho,\theta)\to 1$ as $\rho\to+\infty$ for any $\theta\in [\frac{\pi}2-\frac{\pi}{2j},\frac{\pi}2)$.}
