Geometric Properties of Gelfand's Problems with Parabolic Approach

We consider the asymptotic profiles of the nonlinear parabolic flows $$(e^{u})_{t}= \La u+λe^u$$ to show the geometric properties of the following elliptic nonlinear eigenvalue problems known as a Gelfand's problem: \begin{equation*} \begin{split} \La \vp &+ λe^{\vp}=0, \quad \vp>0\quad\text{in $Ω$}\\ \vp&=0\quad\text{on $Ω$} \end{split} \end{equation*} posed in a strictly convex domain $Ω\subset\re^n$. In this work, we show that there is a strictly increasing function $f(s)$ such that $f^{-1}(\vp(x))$ is convex for $0<λ\leqλ^{\ast}$, i.e., we prove that level set of $\vp$ is convex. Moreover, we also present the boundary condition of $\vp$ which guarantee the $f$-convexity of solution $\vp$.
