Abstract

We study the nodal solutions of the Lane Emden Dirichlet problem Δu=up1uwithDBConasmoothboundeddomain-\Delta u = |u|^{p-1}u with DBC on a smooth bounded domain \Omegain in \IR^2andwhere and where p>1.Weconsidersolutions. We consider solutions u_psatisfying satisfying p \int_{\Omega}\abs{\nabla u_p}^2\to 16\pi e\quad\hbox{as}p\rightarrow+\infty\qquad (*)andweareinterestedintheshapeandtheasymptoticbehavioras and we are interested in the shape and the asymptotic behavior as p\rightarrow+\infty.Firstweprovethat()holdsforleastenergynodalsolutions.Thenweobtainsomeestimatesandtheasymptoticprofileofthiskindofsolutions.Finally,insomecases,weprovethat. First we prove that (*) holds for least energy nodal solutions. Then we obtain some estimates and the asymptotic profile of this kind of solutions.
