Abstract

We consider the supercritical problem {equation*} -\Delta u=|u| ^{p-2}u\text{\in}\Omega,\quad u=0\text{\on}\partial\Omega, {equation*} where Ω\Omega is a bounded smooth domain in RN\mathbb{R}^{N} and pp smaller than the critical exponent 2N,k:=2(Nk)Nk22_{N,k}^{\ast}:=\frac{2(N-k)}{N-k-2} for the Sobolev embedding of H1(RNk)H^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{N-k}) in Lq(RNk)L^{q}(\mathbb{R}^{N-k}), 1kN3.1\leq k\leq N-3. We show that in some suitable domains Ω\Omega there are positive and sign changing solutions with positive and negative layers which concentrate along one or several kk-dimensional submanifolds of Ω\partial\Omega as pp approaches 2N,k2_{N,k}^{\ast} from below. Key words:Nonlinear elliptic boundary value problem; critical and supercritical exponents; existence of positive and sign changing solutions.
