Concentration along geodescis for a nonlinear Steklov problem arising in corrosion modelling

Analysis of PDEs 2015-07-02 v1

Abstract

We consider the problem of finding pairs (λ;u)(\lambda; u), with λ>0\lambda > 0 and uu a harmonic function in a three dimensional torus-like domain, satisfying the nonlinear boundary condition νu=λsinhu\partial_{\nu} u = \lambda \sinh u on the boundary. This type of boundary condition arises in corrosion modelling (Butler Volmer condition). We prove existence of solutions which concentrate along some geodesics of the boundary as the parameter λ\lambda goes to zero.
