Nondegeneracy of solutions for a class of cooperative systems on $ \mathbb{R}^n $

Abstract

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>We consider fully coupled cooperative systems on <inline-formula><tex-math id="M2">\begin{document}$ \mathbb{R}^n $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> with coefficients that decay exponentially at infinity. Expanding some results obtained previously on bounded domain, we prove that the existence of a strictly positive supersolution ensures the first eigenvalue to exist and to be nonzero. This result is applied to show that the topological solutions for a Chern-Simons model, described by a semilinear system on <inline-formula><tex-math id="M3">\begin{document}$ \mathbb{R}^2 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> with exponential nonlinearity, are nondegenerate.</p>
