Let W be a non-negative function of class C3 from $\xR^2$ to
$\xR$, which vanishes exactly at two points a and b. Let
S1(a, b) be the set of functions of a real variable which tend
to a at -∞
and to b at +∞ and whose one dimensional energy
$$
E\_1(v)=\int\_\xR\bigl[W(v)+\lvert v'\rvert^2/2\bigr]\,\xdif x
$$
is finite.
Assume that there exist two isolated minimizers z+ and z-
of the energy E1
over S1(a, b). Under a mild coercivity condition on the
potential W and a generic spectral condition on the linearization
of the
one-dimensional Euler–Lagrange operator at z+ and z-, it is
possible to prove that there exists a function u
from $\xR^2$ to itself which satisfies the equation
$$
-\Delta u + \xDif W(u)^\mathsf\{T\}=0,
$$
and the boundary conditions
$$
\lim\_\{x\_2\to +\infty\} u(x\_1,x\_2)=z\_+(x\_1-m\_+),\phantom\{\mathbf\{a\}\}
\lim\_\{x\_2\to
-\infty\} u(x\_1,x\_2)=z\_-(x\_1-m\_-),
\lim\_\{x\_1\to -\infty\}u(x\_1,x\_2)=\mathbf\{a\},\phantom\{z\_+(x\_1-m\_+)\}
\lim\_\{x\_1\to+\infty\}u(x\_1,x\_2)=\mathbf\{b\}.
$$
The above convergences are exponentially fast; the numbers m+
and m- are unknowns of the problem.
