Abstract

Given a smooth bounded domain \OR2{\O}\subseteq \R^2, we consider the equation \Dv=2vxvy\D v = 2 v_x \wedge v_y in \O\O, where v:\OR3v: {\O}\to \R^3. We prescribe Dirichlet boundary datum, and consider the case in which this datum converges to zero. An asymptotic study of the corresponding Euler functional is performed, analyzing multiple-bubbling phenomena. This allows us to settle a particular case of a question raised by H. Brezis and J.M. Coron.
