Multiple blow-up phenomena for the sinh-Poisson equation

Analysis of PDEs 2015-06-11 v1

Abstract

We consider the sinh-Poisson equation (P)λΔu=\lasinhu in Ω, u=0 on Ω,(P)_\lambda\quad -\Delta u=\la\sinh u\ \hbox{in}\ \Omega,\ u=0\ \hbox{on}\ \partial\Omega, where Ω\Omega is a smooth bounded domain in \rr2\rr^2 and λ\lambda is a small positive parameter. If 0Ω0\in\Omega and Ω\Omega is symmetric with respect to the origin, for any integer kk if \la\la is small enough, we construct a family of solutions to (P)\la(P)_\la which blows-up at the origin whose positive mass is 4πk(k1)4\pi k(k-1) and negative mass is 4πk(k+1).4\pi k(k+1). It gives a complete answer to an open problem formulated by Jost-Wang-Ye-Zhou in [Calc. Var. PDE (2008) 31: 263-276].
