Abstract: In this paper, we consider a biharmonic equation under the Navier boundary condition and with a nearly critical exponent (Pepsilon):Delta2u=u9−epsilon,u>0 in Omega and u=Deltau=0 on partialOmega, where Omega is a smooth bounded domain in R5 and epsilon>0. We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions of (Pepsilon) which are minimizing for the Sobolev qutient as epsilon goes to zero. We show that such solutions concentrate around a point x0inOmega as epsilono0, moreover x0 is a critical point of the Robin's function. Conversely, we show that for any nondegenerate critical point x0 of the Robin's function, there exist solutions concentrating around x0 as epsilon goes to zero.


Summary: We consider a biharmonic equation under the Navier boundary condition and with a nearly critical exponent (\(P_\varepsilon\)): \(\Delta^2u=u^{9-\varepsilon}\), \(u>0\) in \(\Omega\) and \(u=\Delta u=0\) on \(\partial\Omega\), where \(\Omega\) is a smooth bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^5\), \(\varepsilon>0\). We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions of (\(P_\varepsilon\)) which are minimizing for the Sobolev quotient as \(\varepsilon\) goes to zero. We show that such solutions concentrate around a point \(x_0 \in \Omega\) as \(\varepsilon\rightarrow 0\), moreover \(x_0\) is a critical point of the Robin's function. Conversely, we show that for any nondegenerate critical point \(x_0\) of the Robin's function, there exist solutions of (\(P_\varepsilon\)) concentrating around \(x_0\) as \(\varepsilon\rightarrow 0\).
