Sumario:This is the first of two papers concerning saddle-shaped solutions to the semilinear equation in , where is a linear elliptic integro-differential operator and f is of Allen-Cahn type. Saddle-shaped solutions are doubly radial, odd with respect to the Simons cone, and vanish only on this set. By the odd symmetry, coincides with a new operator which acts on functions defined only on one side of the Simons cone, , and that vanish on it. This operator , which corresponds to reflect a function oddly and then apply , has a kernel on which is different from K. In this first paper, we characterize the kernels K for which the new kernel is positive and therefore one can develop a theory on the saddle-shaped solution. The necessary and sufficient condition for this turns out to be that K is radially symmetric and is a strictly convex function. Assuming this, we prove an energy estimate for doubly radial odd minimizers and the existence of saddle-shaped solution. In a subsequent article, part II, further qualitative properties of saddle-shaped solutions will be established, such as their asymptotic behavior, a maximum principle for the linearized operator, and their uniqueness.
