Shooting Method with Sign-Changing Nonlinearity

In this paper, we study the existence of solution to a nonlinear system: \begin{align} \left\{\begin{array}{cl} -Δu_{i} = f_{i}(u) & \text{in } \mathbb{R}^n, u_{i} > 0 & \text{in } \mathbb{R}^n, \, i = 1, 2,\cdots, L % u_{i}(x) \rightarrow 0 & \text{uniformly as } |x| \rightarrow \infty \end{array} \right. \end{align} for sign changing nonlinearities $f_i$'s. Recently, a degree theory approach to shooting method for this broad class of problems is introduced in \cite{LiarXiv13} for nonnegative $f_i$'s. However, many systems of nonlinear Schödinger type involve interaction with undetermined sign. Here, based on some new dynamic estimates, we are able to extend the degree theory approach to systems with sign-changing source terms.
