Existence of sharp asymptotic profiles of singular solutions to an elliptic equation with a sign-changing non-linearity (Q2332928)

The purpose of this paper is, for all singular profiles at zero, to prove the existence of positive solutions of the perturbed non-linear elliptic equation \[ -\Delta u=|x|^{-s}u^{2^*(s)-1}-\mu u^q,\quad x\in B(0, R)\backslash \{0\}, \tag{1} \] where \(B(0, R)\) denotes the open ball in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) (\(n\geq 3\)) centered at 0 with radius \(R > 0\), \(\mu\) is a positive parameter, \(q > 1\), \(s\in (0, 2)\), \(2^*(s)=\frac{2(n-s)}{n-2}\) and \(2^*=\frac{2n}{n-2}\). Using a dynamical system approach, the authors prove that for every \(q\in (2^*(s)-1, 2^*-1)\), (1) has infinitely many positive solutions satisfying \[\lim_{|x|\rightarrow 0}|x|^{\frac{s}{q-2^*(s)+1}}u(x)=\mu^{\frac{-1}{q-2^*(s)+1}}.\] Moreover, they show that (1) has a positive singular solution with \(\lim\inf_{|x|\rightarrow 0}|x|^{\frac{n-2}{2}}u(x)=0\) and \(\lim\sup_{|x|\rightarrow 0}|x|^{\frac{n-2}{2}}u(x)\in (0, \infty)\) if and only if \(q\in (2^*-2, 2^*-1)\).
