A concentration phenomenon for semilinear elliptic equations

Abstract: For a domain

O m e g a s u b s e t d R^{N}

we consider the equation

- D e l t a u + V (x) u = Q_{n} (x) a b s u^{p - 2} u

with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions and

p i n (2, 2^{*})

. Here

V g e 0

and

Q_{n}

are bounded functions that are positive in a region contained in

O m e g a

and negative outside, and such that the sets

Q_{n} > 0

shrink to a point

x_{0} i n O m e g a

as

n o i n f t y

. We show that if

u_{n}

is a nontrivial solution corresponding to

Q_{n}

, then the sequence

(u_{n})

concentrates at

x_{0}

with respect to the

H^{1}

and certain

L^{q}

-norms. We also show that if the sets

Q_{n} > 0

shrink to two points and

u_{n}

are ground state solutions, then they concentrate at one of these points.
