Abstract

In this paper we consider the higher order Lioville-type equation (Δ)mu=ρ2mV(x)eu(-\Delta)^{m} u=\rho^{2m} V(x) e^{u} in ΩR2m\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{2m} with V0V\neq0 a given smooth potential, ρR+\rho\in\mathbb{R}^{+} a small parameter which tends to zero from above and where we prescribe the boundary conditions to be either Navier or Dirichlet. We find sufficient conditions under which, as ρ\rho approaches 00, there exists an explicit class of solutions which admit a concentration behavior with a prescribed bubble profile around some given kk-points in Ω\Omega, for any given integer kk. These are the so-called singular limits. The candidate kk-points of concentration must be critical points of a suitable finite dimensional functional explicitly defined in terms of the potential VV and the higher order Green's function with respect to the imposed boundary conditions.
