Abstract

We deal with the existence of positive radial solutions concentrating on spheres to a class of singularly perturbed elliptic problems like -ε2 Δu + V(|x|)u = up, u ∈ H1 (ℝn). Under suitable assumptions on the auxiliary potential M(r) = rn-1 Vθ(r), θ(p + 1)/(p - 1) - 1/2, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for concentration as well as the bifurcation of non-radial solutions.
