Multi-layer radial solutions for a supercritical Neumann problem (Q272260): Difference between revisions

The paper under review deals with the Neumann problem \[ \begin{cases} -\Delta u+u=u^p & \text{in}\;B_1,\\ u>0, & \\ \partial_\nu u=0 & \text{on}\;\partial B_1, \end{cases} \] where \(B_1\) is the unit ball in \(\mathbb{R}^N\) with \(N\geq3\) and \(p>1\). The authors prove existence of multiple layer solutions as \(p\to\infty.\) These are radial solutions whose Laplacians weakly converge to measures concentrating at interior spheres, with a simple reflection rule. The machinery employed rely on a gluing technique, using a variant of the Nehari method, adapted to deal with Neumann problems instead of the standard Dirichlet ones.
