Firstly, we show the nondegeneracy and uniqueness of the critical points of solutions in a planar domain by using the local Chen \\& Huang's comparison technique and the geometric properties of approximate curved surfaces at the nondegenerate critical points. Secondly, we deduce the uniqueness and nondegeneracy of the critical points of solutions in a rotationally symmetric domain of $\\mathbb{R}^{n}(n\\geq3)$ by the projection of higher dimension space onto two dimension plane.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-12-22T14:10:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35J93", "35J25", "35B38" ], "keywords": [ "critical points", "robin boundary conditions", "uniqueness", "prescribed constant mean curvature equation", "huangs comparison technique" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
