Abstract

Given ϵ(0,1)\epsilon \in (0,1) and λ>1\lambda > 1, we address the existence of solutions for the Sinh-Poisson equation with Robin boundary value condition {Δu+ϵ2(eueu)=0\mboxinΩuν+λu=0\mboxonΩ, \begin{cases} \Delta u+\epsilon^2 (e^{u} - e^{-u})=0 &\mbox{in }\Omega\\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial\nu}+\lambda u=0 &\mbox{on }\partial\Omega, \end{cases} where ΩR2\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2 is a bounded smooth domain. We prove two existence results under a suitable relation between ϵ\epsilon small and λ\lambda large. When Ω\Omega is symmetric with respect to an axis, we prove the existence of a family of solutions uϵ,λu_{\epsilon,\lambda} concentrating at two points with different spin, both located on the symmetry line and close to the boundary. In the second result, we assume Ω\Omega is not simply connected and we construct sign-changing solutions concentrating at points located close to the boundary, each of them on a different connected component of the boundary.
