Abstract

We consider the anisotropic Emden-Fowler equation: ∇ (a (x) ∇ u) + ε2 a (x) eu = 0 in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω where Ω ⊂ R2 is a smooth bounded domain and a (x) is a positive, smooth function. We investigate the effect of anisotropic coefficient a (x) on the existence of bubbling solutions. We show that at given strict local maximum points of a, there exist solutions with arbitrarily many bubbles. As a consequence, the quantityTε = ε2 under(∫, Ω) a (x) eu d x can approach to +∞ as ε → 0. These results show a striking difference with the isotropic case (a (x) ≡ constant).
