Tóm tắt

We study monotonicity and 1-dimensional symmetry for positive solutions with algebraic growth of the following elliptic system: $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u = -u \upsilon^2 &\quad {\rm in}\, \mathbb{R}^N\\ -\Delta \upsilon= -u^2 \upsilon &\quad {{\rm in}\, \mathbb{R}^N},\end{array}\right.$$ for every dimension $${N \geqq 2}$$ . In particular, we prove a Gibbons-type conjecture proposed by Berestycki et al.
