Let Ω be a bounded domain in R², u+=u if u⩾0, u+=0 if u<0, u−=u+−u. In this paper we study the existence of solutions to the following problem arising in the study of a simple model of a confined plasma ... where ν is the outward unit normal of ∂Ω at x, c is a constant which is unprescribed, and I is a given positive constant. The set Ωp = {x ∈ Ω, u(x) < 0} is called plasma set. Existence of solutions whose plasma set consisting of one component and asymptotic behavior of plasma set were studied by Caffarelli and Friedman (1980) [3] for large λ. Under the condition that the homology of Ω is nontrivial we obtain in this paper by a constructive way that for any given integer k⩾1, there is λk>0 such that for λ>λk, (Pλ) has a solution with plasma set consisting of k components. |
