Periodic solutions for nonlinear elliptic equations. Application to charged particle beam focusing systems. (English) Zbl 1133.78307

Summary: We study the existence of spatial periodic solutions for nonlinear elliptic equations of the form \[ -\Delta u+ g(x, u(x))=0,\quad x\in\mathbb{R}^N, \] where \(g\) is a continuous function, nondecreasing with respect to \(u\). We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic solutions. Some cases with nonincreasing function \(g\) are investigated as well. As an application we analyze a mathematical model for the electron beam focusing system and prove the existence of positive periodic solutions for the envelope equation. We also present numerical simulations.
