Decay rate and radial symmetry of the exponential elliptic equation


Abstract in English

Let $ngeq 3$, $alpha$, $betainmathbb{R}$, and let $v$ be a solution $Delta v+alpha e^v+beta xcdot abla e^v=0$ in $mathbb{R}^n$, which satisfies the conditions $lim_{Rtoinfty}frac{1}{log R}int_{1}^{R}rho^{1-n} (int_{B_{rho}}e^v,dx)drhoin (0,infty)$ and $|x|^2e^{v(x)}le A_1$ in $R^n$. We prove that $frac{v(x)}{log |x|}to -2$ as $|x|toinfty$ and $alpha>2beta$. As a consequence under a mild condition on $v$ we prove that the solution is radially symmetric about the origin.
