Abstract Given Ω bounded open regular set of ℝ2 and x1, x2, ..., xm Î Ω, we give a sufficient condition for the problem −div (eλu ∇u) = ρ 2 f (u)

to have a positive weak solution in Ω with u = 0 on ∂Ω, which is singular at each xi as the parameters r, l > 0 tend to 0 and where f(u) is dominated exponential nonlinearities functions. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35J60; 53C21; 58J05. Keywords: singular limits, Green’s function, nonlinear Cauchy-data matching method

1 Introduction and statement of the results We consider the following problem 

−div(a(u)∇u) u

= =

ρ 2 f (u) 0

in on

 ∂,

(1)

where ∇ is the gradient and Ω is an open smooth bounded subset of ℝ2. The function a is assumed to be positive and smooth. In the following, we take a(u) = elu and f (u) = elu(eu + egu), for l > 0 and g Î(0, 1), then problem (1) take the form  −u − λ|∇u|2 = ρ 2 (eu + eγ u ) in  ⊂ R2 (2) u = 0 on ∂. Using the following transformation w = (λρ 2 eu )λ ,

then the function w satisfies the following problem  γ −1 λ+1 −w = w λ + w λ in  ⊂ R2 λ w = (λρ 2 ) on ∂.

with ϱ = (lr2)1-l. So when l ® 0+, the exponent q = exponent

tends to infinity while the

tends to -∞. For ϱ ≡ 0, problem (3) has been studied by Ren and Wei in

[1]. See also [2]. We denote by ε the smallest positive parameter satisfying ρ2 =

Remark that r ~ ε as ε ® 0. We will suppose in the following (Aλ ) :

If

0 < ε < λ,

then

λ1+δ/2 ε−δ → 0

as

λ → 0, for any δ ∈ (0, 1).

In particular, if we take λ = O(ε2/3 ), then the condition (Al) is satisfied. Under the assumption (Al), we can treat equation (2) as a perturbation of the following: −u = ρ 2 (eu + eγ u )

in  ⊂ R2

for g Î (0, 1). Our question is: Does there exist vε,l a sequence of solutions of (2) which converges to some singular function as the parameters ε and l tend to 0? In [3], Baraket et al. gave a positive answer to the above question for the following problem  −u − λ|∇u|2 = ρ 2 eu in  (5) u= 0 on ∂, with a regular bounded domain Ω of ℝ2. They give a sufficient condition for the problem (5) to have a weak solution in Ω which is singular at some points (xi)1≤i≤m as r and l a small param
