Abstract

We consider the nonlocal Liouville type equation (Δ)12u=εκ(x)eu,u>0,\mboxinI,u=0,\mboxinRI, (-\Delta)^{\frac{1}{2}} u = \varepsilon \kappa(x) e^u, \quad u > 0, \quad \mbox{in } I, \qquad u = 0, \quad \mbox{in } \mathbb{R} \setminus I, where II is a union of d2d \geq 2 disjoint bounded intervals, κ\kappa is a smooth bounded function with positive infimum and ε>0\varepsilon > 0 is a small parameter. For any integer 1md1 \leq m \leq d, we construct a family of solutions (uε)ε(u_\varepsilon)_{\varepsilon} which blow up at mm interior distinct points of II and for which εIκeuε2mπ\varepsilon \int_I \kappa e^{u_\varepsilon} \, \rightarrow 2 m \pi, as ε0\varepsilon \to 0. Moreover, we show that, when d=2d = 2 and mm is suitably large, no such construction is possible.
