Abstract

Consider the problem \begin{eqnarray*} -\Delta u_\e &=& v_\e^p \quad v_\e>0\quad {in}\quad \Omega, -\Delta v_\e &=& u_\e^{q_\e}\quad u_\e>0\quad {in}\quad \Omega, u_\e&=&v_\e\:\:=\:\:0 \quad {on}\quad \partial \Omega, \end{eqnarray*} where Ω\Omega is a bounded convex domain in RN,\R^N, N>2,N>2, with smooth boundary Ω.\partial \Omega. Here p,q\e>0,p,q_\e>0, and \begin{equation*} \epsilon:=\frac{N}{p+1}+\frac{N}{q_\e+1}-(N-2). \end{equation*} This problem has positive solutions for \e>0\e>0 (with pq\e>1pq_\e>1) and no non-trivial solution for \e0.\e\leq 0. We study the asymptotic behaviour of \emph{least energy} solutions as \e0+.\e\to 0^+. These solutions are shown to blow-up at exactly one point, and the location of this point is characterized. In addition, the shape and exact rates for blowing up are given.
