More generally, we prove the existence of solutions with a finite number of compact connected components of prescribed topology in their zero level sets.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-06-02T16:15:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "allen-cahn equation", "compact topology", "bounded solutions", "zero level set", "bounded entire solution" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150600940E" } } }
