Abstract

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of least energy nodal solutions up(x)u_p(x) to the following fourth-order elliptic problem {Δ2u=up1uin  Ω,u=uν=0  on  Ω, \begin{cases} \Delta^2 u =|u|^{p-1}u \quad &\hbox{in}\;\Omega, \\ u=\frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu}=0 \ \ &\hbox{on}\;\partial\Omega, \end{cases} where Ω\Omega is a bounded C4,αC^{4,\alpha} domain in R4\mathbb{R}^4 and p>1p>1. Among other things, we show that up to a subsequence of p+p\to+\infty, pup(x)64π2e(G(x,x+)G(x,x))pu_p(x)\to 64\pi^2\sqrt{e}(G(x,x^+)-G(x,x^-)), where x+xΩx^+\neq x^-\in \Omega and G(x,y)G(x,y) is the corresponding Green function of Δ2\Delta^2. This generalize those results for Δu=up1u-\Delta u=|u|^{p-1}u in dimension two by (Grossi-Grumiau-Pacella, Ann.I.H.Poincar\'{e}-AN, 30 (2013), 121-140) to the biharmonic case, and also gives an alternative proof of Grossi-Grumiau-Pacella's results without assuming their comparable condition p(up+up)=O(1)p(\|u_p^+\|_{\infty}-\|u_p^-\|_{\infty})=O(1).
