Solutions with spikes at the boundary for a 2D nonlinear Neumann problem with large exponent (Q1016455): Difference between revisions

The elliptic equation \(-\Delta u+u=0\) in a bounded smooth domain \(\Omega\subset\mathbb R^2\) subject to the Neumann boundary condition \(\frac{\partial u}{\partial\nu}=u^{p}\), where \(p>1\), is considered in the work. It is proved that given any integer \(m\geq 1\) there exist two families of solutions \(u_{p}\) having exactly \(m\) peaks \(\xi_{i}\in \partial\Omega\) in the sense that \(pu^{p}\to 2e\pi\sum^{m}_{i=1}\delta_{\xi_{i}}\) as \(p\to \infty\). The main result is Theorem 1.1 which proof is rather technical and original. It is divided in the 8 sections of the paper.
