Abstract

This paper deals with −Δu + εuq−1 = u2*−1, , where q > 2*, ε > 0. We first show that the minimiser of the associated minimisation problem blows up at the global minimum point of H(x, x), where H(y, x) is the regular part of the Green's function. We then prove that for each strictly local minimum point x0 of H(x, x), this problem has a solution concentrating at x0 as ε→0.
