Abstract

We deal with a boundary value problem of the form ϵ(ϕp(ϵu))+a(x)W(u)=0,u(0)=0=u(1),-\epsilon(\phi_p(\epsilon u'))'+a(x)W'(u)=0,\quad u'(0)=0=u'(1), where ϕp(s)=sp2s\phi_p(s) = \vert s \vert^{p-2} s for sRs \in \mathbb{R} and p>1p>1, and W:[1,1]RW:[-1,1] \to {\mathbb R} is a double-well potential. We study the limit profile of solutions when ϵ0+\epsilon \to 0^+ and, conversely, we prove the existence of nodal solutions associated with any admissible limit profile when ϵ\epsilon is small enough.
