We address the question: \"Is it true that every bounded family of solutions of the system converges, as the competition parameter goes to infinity, to a pair which difference solves the scalar equation?\". We discuss this question in the case when the solutions to the system are obtained as minimax critical points via (weak) L^2 Krasnoselskii genus theory. Our results, though still partial, give a strong indication of a positive answer.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-10-28T09:38:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35B40", "35J50", "35Q55" ], "keywords": [ "singularly perturbed systems", "critical points", "convergence", "continuation", "krasnoselskii genus theory" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0910.5317N" } } }
