Abstract: In this paper, we prove the existence, uniqueness and qualitative properties of heteroclinic solution for a class of autonomous quasilinear ordinary differential equations of the Allen–Cahn type given by − ϕ (| u ′ |) u ′ ′ + V ′ (u) = 0 in   ℝ , where V is a double-well potential with minima at t = ± α and ϕ : (0 , + ∞) → (0 , + ∞) is a C 1 function satisfying some technical assumptions. Our results include the classic case ϕ (t) = t p − 2 , which is related to the celebrated p -Laplacian operator, presenting the explicit solution in this specific scenario. Moreover, we also study the case ϕ (t) = 1 1 + t 2 , which is directly associated with the prescribed mean curvature operator. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
