Abstract: We consider radial solutions of the slightly subcritical problem $-Delta{u}_{v}arepsilon=|u_{v}arepsilon{|}^{frac4n-2-varepsilon}{u}_{v}arepsilon$ either on $mathbb{R}^n$ ($ngeq3$) or in a ball $B$ satisfying Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. In particular, we provide sharp rates and constants describing the asymptotic behavior (as $varepsilono0$) of all local minima and maxima of $u_{v}arepsilon$ as well as its derivative at roots. Our proof is done by induction and uses energy estimates, blow-up/normalization techniques, a radial pointwise Pohozaev identity, and some ODE arguments. As corollaries, we complement a known asymptotic approximation of the Dirichlet nodal solution in terms of a tower of bubbles and present a similar formula for the Neumann problem.
