Abstract

Given a smooth bounded domain D\mathcal{D} in RN\mathbb{R}^N with N3N\geq3, we study the existence and the profile of positive solutions for the following elliptic Nenumann problem {Δυ+υ=υp,υ>0in D,υν=0on D,\begin{cases}-\Delta \upsilon+\upsilon=\upsilon^p,\,\quad \upsilon>0 \quad\textrm{in}\ \mathcal{D},\\[1mm] \frac{\partial \upsilon}{\partial\nu}=0\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad \textrm{on}\ \partial\mathcal{D}, \end{cases} where p>1p>1 is a large exponent and ν\nu denotes the outer unit normal vector to the boundary D\partial\mathcal{D}. For suitable domains D\mathcal{D}, by a constructive way we prove that, for any non-negative integers kk, ll with k+l1k+l\geq1, if pp is large enough, such a problem has a family of positive solutions with kk boundary layers and ll interior layers which concentrate along k+lk+l distinct (N2)(N-2)-dimensional minimal submanifolds of D\partial\mathcal{D}, or collapse to the same (N2)(N-2)-dimensional minimal submanifold of D\partial\mathcal{D} as p+p\rightarrow+\infty.
