Abstract

We study the equation -ε2Δu + V(|x|)u = u p, with ε > 0 and p > 1, in balls or annuli of ℝn, under Neumann or Dirichlet boundary conditions. As ε tends to zero we prove existence of radial solutions, with the profile of an interior one-dimensional spike, concentrated near some sphere. Of particular interest are the different, or opposite, effects created by the Neumann or Dirichlet boundary conditions on the existence as well as the locations of the concentration sets of solutions.
