Asymptotic behavior of ground states of quasilinear elliptic problems with two vanishing parameters (Q697658)

The authors study the quasilinear elliptic equation \[ -\Delta_mu=-\delta u^{m-1} +u^{p-1}\text{ in }\mathbb{R}^N,\tag{1} \] where \(n>m>1\), \(m<p<m^*\), \(\delta >0\) and \(m^*={nm \over n-m}\). The goal of the authors is to study the behaviour of (radial) ground states of (1) as \(p\to m^*\), \(\delta\to 0\). They show that these two parameters have opposite effects on the asymptotic behaviour. The authors indicate that different asymptotics are obtained according to whether \(n>m^2\) or \(n\leq m^2\), where \(n\) is the dimension of the underlying space.
