Abstract:

We give multiplicity results for the solutions of a nonlinear elliptic equation, with an asymmetric double well potential of Van der Waals-Allen--Cahn--Hilliard type, satisfying a linear volume constraint, on a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega\subset\mathds R^N$. The number of solutions is estimated in terms of topological and homological invariants of the underlying domain $\Omega$.
