Concentration phenomena for singularly perturbed problems on two dimensional domains. / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collection

Firstly, we establish the existence of a solution u epsilon concentrating along a curve Gammaepsilon near the non-degenerate Gamma, exponentially small in epsilon at any positive distance from the curve, provided epsilon is small and away from certain critical numbers. The concentrating curve Gammaepsilon will collapse to Gamma as epsilon → 0. / In this thesis, we consider the following problem 32Du-u+up= 0 and u>0 in W , 6u6n= 0 on 6W, where O is a bounded domain in R2 with smooth boundary, epsilon is a small positive parameter, nu denotes the outward normal of O and p > 1. Let Gamma be a straight line intersecting orthogonally with ∂O at exactly two points. We use the infinite dimensional Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction method, introduced by M. del Pino, M. Kowalczyk and J. Wei in [14], to deal with the non-invertibility caused by the critical eigenvalues of the linearized operator in the perturbed problems and then construct interior concentration layers near Gamma, which interact with the boundary. Moreover, the method of successive improvements of the approximation helps us decompose the interaction between the boundary and the interior layers. / Secondly, for any given integer N with N ≥ 2 and for small epsilon away from certain critical numbers, we construct another solution uepsilon exhibiting N concentration layers at mutual distances O(epsilon∣ ln epsilon∣), whose concentration set will approach the non-degenerate and non-minimal Gamma as epsilon → 0, provided that the exponent p ≥ 2. Asymptotic location of these layers is governed by a Toda type system. / Yang, Jun. / "July 2007." / Adviser: Juncheng Wei. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 69-01, Section: B, page: 0357. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2007. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 129-136). / Electronic reproduction.
