Synopsis

Asymptotic estimates are established for nontrivial positive radial eigenfunctions of the nonlinear eigenvalue problem −Δu = λ(up − uq) in the unit ball B in ℝN (N > 2) with Neumann boundary conditions, as the supremum norm tends to infinity. Here p is the critical Sobolev exponent (N + 2)/(N − 2) and 0 < q < p − 1 = 4/(N − 2).
