Sobolev hyperbola for periodic Lane-Emden heat flow system in N spatial dimension. (English) Zbl 1480.35012

Summary: The well-known Lane-Emden conjecture indicates that, for the elliptic Lane-Emden system \(- \Delta u = v^p, - \Delta v = u^q\) in \(\mathbb{R}^N\), the Sobolev hyperbola \(\frac{1}{p + 1} + \frac{1}{ q + 1} = \frac{N - 2}{ N}\) is expected as the critical curve for the existence and nonexistence of entire solutions. In this paper, we study the periodic Lane-Emden heat flow system \(u_t - \Delta u = a (t) v^p, v_t - \Delta v = b (t) u^q\) in a bounded domain \(\Omega\) of \(\mathbb{R}^N\), subject to homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. We will show that the Sobolev hyperbola is also a critical curve for the existence and nonexistence of periodic solutions. Moreover, if \(pq = 1\), the nontrivial periodic solutions may exist or not exist.
