Towers of Nodal Bubbles for the Bahri-Coron Problem in Punctured Domains

Tipo de Evento: Investigación
Let $\Omega$ be a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$ which contains a ball centered at the origin. Consider problem
\begin{equation}\label{1}
(\wp_{\delta})\qquad\left\{
\begin{array}
[c]{ll}%
-\Delta u=|u|^{ 2^{*}- 2}u & \text{in }\Omega_{\delta},\\[3mm]
u=0 & \text{on }\partial\Omega_{\delta},\\
\end{array}
\right.
\end{equation}
here $N\geq 3$, $2^{*}=\frac{2N}{N-2}$ is the critical Sobolev exponent and $\Omega_{\delta}:=\{x\in\Omega: |x|>\delta \}$. In this talk we will discuss the existence of nodal solutions $(u_{m, \delta})$ for problem $(\wp_{\delta})$. Moreover, if $\Omega$ is starshaped, we show that the solutions $(u_{m, \delta})$ concentrate and blowup at $0$, as $\delta\rightarrow0$, and their limit profile is a tower of nodal bubbles, i.e., they are a sum of rescaled nonradial sign-changing solutions to the limit problem
\begin{equation}\label{1}
\qquad\left\{
\begin{array}
[c]{ll}%
-\Delta u=|u|^{ 2^{*}- 2}u, & u\in D^{1,2}(\mathbb{R^{N}})\\
\end{array}
\right.
\end{equation}
centered at the origin.
