Abstract
In this paper we investigate the behavior of a family of steady state solutions of a nonlinear reaction diffusion equation when some reaction and potential terms are concentrated in a -neighborhood of a portion of the boundary. We assume that this -neighborhood shrinks to as the small parameter goes to zero. Also, we suppose the upper boundary of this -strip presents a highly oscillatory behavior. Our main goal here is to show that this family of solutions converges to the solutions of a limit problem, a nonlinear elliptic equation that captures the oscillatory behavior. Indeed, the reaction term and concentrating potential are transformed into a flux condition and a potential on , which depends on the oscillating neighborhood.
