1 NONRADIAL CLUSTERED SPIKE SOLUTIONS FOR SEMILINEAR ELLIPTIC PROBLEMS ON S n CATHERINE BANDLE AND JUNCHENG WEI Abstract. We consider the following superlinear elliptic equation on S n S nu u + u p = 0 in S n, u > 0 in S n where S n is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on S n. We prove that for any k = 1,..., n 1, there exists p k > 1 such that for 1 < p < p k and sufficiently small, there exist at least n k positive solutions concentrating on k dimensional subset of the equator. We also discuss the problem on geodesic balls of S n and establish the existence of positive nonradial solutions. The method extends to Dirichlet problems with more general nonlinearities. The proofs are based on the finite-dimensional reduction procedure which was successfully used by the second author in singular perturbation problems. 1. Introduction Let D be a geodesic ball in the n-dimensional sphere S n = {x R n+1 : x = 1}, centered at the North pole with geodesic radius θn. We consider singularly perturbed elliptic problems of the following type (1.1 S nu u + u p = 0, u > 0 in D, u = 0 on D. where S n is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on S n and p > 1. It is well-known that the moving plane method applies to the balls contained in the hemisphere, see [34] and [1], and implies that all positive solutions are radial in the sense that they depend only on the geodesic distance θ n from the North Pole. For large balls containing the hemisphere, the moving plane device fails in general. However in some special cases it is still true that all positive solutions are radial as was observed by Brock and Prajapat [10]. For instance if p n+ n and > 4 (n n then (1.1 admits only radial solutions. The main goal of this paper is to construct non radial solutions for small and for balls with radius θ n > π/ Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 35B40, 35B45; Secondary 35J40.

2 CATHERINE BANDLE AND JUNCHENG WEI Throughout this paper we shall assume that θ n > π/ We shall also be interested in non radial solutions of the corresponding problem in S n (1. S nu u + u p = 0, u > 0 in S n. In [9] Brezis and Peletier conjectured that nonradial solutions will bifurcate as 0. It is one of the purposes of this paper to answer this question affirmatively. More precisely we have, setting for fixed k = 1,..., n 1, (1.3 p k = { n k+, if k < n, n k +, if k n, Theorem 1.1. For each integer k = 1,..., n 1, there exists k > 0 such that for 1 < p < p k, 0 < < k problem (1. has at least n k solutions concentrating on a k-dimensional surface of the equator. The analogous problem for an arbitrary domain in R n and for a power nonlinearity { (1.4 u u + u p = 0, u > 0 in Ω; u = 0 on Ω, has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. For p < n+, and small, problem (1.4 n admits solutions with spike layers concentrating at (local or global maximum points of the distance function. See [13], [15], [4], [30], [38], and the references therein. We expect according to numerical computations carried out in [36], that such a result remains true also for (1.1. For the critical case similar results have been established in[7]. In [6] the authors studied (1.1 for small and general p and proved for balls of geodesic radius θ n > π/ the existence of radially symmetric clustered layer solutions (i.e., solutions depending on θ n only for (1.1 as 0. The same result was obtained independently by Brezis and Peletier [9] for the special case n = 3 and p = 5 by means of a completely different technique. Our results extend to problems with more general nonlinearities (1.5 S nu u + f(u = 0 u > 0 in D S n, u = 0 on D, where f is subject to the following conditions: (f1 f(t 0 for t < 0, f(0 = f (0 = 0 and f C 1+σ [0, C (0,,
3 (f the following problem has a unique solution MULTI-CLUSTERED SOLUTIONS 3 (1.6 w w + f(w = 0 in R n k, w(0 = max y R n k w(y, w(y 0 as y +. Assumption (f implies that w(y = w( y is radial and that the only solution of the linearization of (1.6 at w (1.7 v v + f (wv = 0 in R n k, v(y 0 for y + is a linear combination of w y j, j = 1,..., n k. The proof of this fact can be found in Appendix C of [33]. We will show that problem (1.5 possesses three types of solutions: (1 Type (I solutions with a spike near k dimensional subset of the boundary D ( Type (II solutions with clustered spikes on k-dimensional subset of spheres near the equator (3 Type (III solutions with clustered spikes both on k dimensional subset of spheres near the equator and a spike near k dimensional subset of the boundary D. Remark: The symmetry results in [31] and [10] imply that in balls contained of radius θ n < π/ problem (1.5 has only radial solutions. As for problem (1.1 nonradial solutions can therefore only be expected for θ n > π/. To state our results, we introduce the polar coordinates in R n+1 : x 1 = r sin θ n sin θ n 1... sin θ sin ϕ, x = r sin θ n sin θ n 1... sin θ cos ϕ, (1.8 x 3 = r sin θ n sin θ n 1... cos θ,. x n+1 = r cos θ n where r = x x n+1, 0 ϕ < π, 0 θ j π, j =,..., n. So a parametrization of S n is r = 1, {0 ϕ < π, 0 θ j π, (1.9 ξ j = cos θ j, j =,..., n. We look for nonradial solutions of (1.1 of the form u = u(ξ n,..., ξ k+1, k = 1,..., n. Define a k dimensional spherical cap on S n j =,..., n}. We also define (1.10 C r = {θ k+1 =... = θ n 1 = π, θ n = arccos r}.
4 4 CATHERINE BANDLE AND JUNCHENG WEI We also need a quantity: let ρ satisfy (1.11 w(ρ = A 0 ρ, ρ >> 1 where A 0 is some generic constant to be given in (3.10. It is not difficult to see that there exists a unique solution ρ which satisfies ( δ log 1 ρ log 1 for all 0(δ. The location of the boundary layer is given by the unique solution of (1.1 r + R n k 1 ln 1 R 1 R 4 r + R Our main result in this paper is the following = 1 log 1 + O(. Theorem 1.. Let k = 1,..., n 1 be a fixed integer. Let N > 0 be another fixed positive integer. Set R = arccos θ n. Then there exists N,k > 0 such that for all < N,k, problem (1.1 admits three types of solutions u 1 (ξ n,..., ξ k+1, u (ξ n,..., ξ k+1, u 3 (ξ n,..., ξ k+1, with the following properties (1 (Type I u 1 concentrates at Σ 1 = C r 1 where r 1 satisfies (1.1 More precisely, we have u 1 (0,..., 0, r 1 w(0, where w(y is the unique solution of (1.6, and there exist two constants a and b such that (1.13 u 1 (ξ n,..., ξ k+1 ae b 1 dist((ξ n,...,ξ k+1,σ 1. ( (Type II u (ξ n,..., ξ k+1 concentrates at Σ = N l=1 C r,l (1.14 r,l = (l N + 1 ρ + O(, l = 1,..., N where ρ is defined by (1.11. (3 (Type III u 3 (ξ n,..., ξ k+1 concentrates at k-dimensional subset Σ 3 = N l=1 C r,l 3 where r0 satisfies (1.1 and with (1.15 r,l 3 = (j N + 1 ρ + O(, l = 1,..., N. C r 0 As a consequence, for each N 1, there exists at least (N + 1 solutions for sufficiently small. Remarks: (1 When k = n 1, this corresponds to result in [6] and [9]. In this case the solutions are radial. When k = 1,..., n, all solutions in Theorem 1. are nonradial.
5 MULTI-CLUSTERED SOLUTIONS 5 ( It was proved in [16] that all solutions of (1.6 are radial. In general there are not necessarily unique. Examples of functions for which there is a unique solution are found for instance in [8]. Going back to equation (1., we have the following Theorem 1.3. Let k = 1,..., n 1 and k + 1 j n and N be a fixed positive integer. Then there exists N,k > 0 such that for all < N,k, problem (1. admits n- k solutions u,j (ξ n,..., ξ k+1 such that u,j concentrates on a k dimensional subset {θ i = π, i = k + 1,..., n, i j, θ j = arccos r l,j } where (1.16 rl,j = (l N + 1 ρ + O(, l = 1,..., N Theorem 1.1 then follows from Theorem 1.3. Radially symmetric Type II solutions are studied for the following singularly perturbed problem (1.17 { u u + f(u = 0, u > 0 in Ω; u ν = 0 on Ω where Ω is the unit ball in R n. See [1], [], [11], and [6]. In particular, we mention the results of [6] which state that for any positive integer N 1, there exists a layered solution u to (1.17 with the property that u concentrates on N spheres r1 >... > rn satisfying 1 r1 = log 1 +O(, r j 1 rj = log 1 +O(, j =,..., N. This is in contrast to the Dirichlet problem where near the boundary the solution concentrates at most on one sphere(cf. solutions of Type I of [6]. Our approach mainly relies upon a finite dimensional reduction procedure. Such a method has been used successfully in many papers, see e.g. [1], [], [14], [18], [19], [6]. In particular, we shall follow the one used in [6]. This method consists of three main steps: Step 1: Choose good approximate solutions which concentrate on some circles C r1,..., C rn. This is done in Section 3. Step : Solve the nonlinear PDE modulo the projections of finite dimensions corresponding to translation modes. This reduces the problem to a finite dimensional problem. This is done in Section 4.
6 6 CATHERINE BANDLE AND JUNCHENG WEI Step 3: Use degree theory (depending on nondegeneracy of some reduced functional to solve the reduced problem. This is done in Section 5. The interested reader may consult the survey article of Ni [9] (pages for more details. Throughout this paper, unless otherwise stated, the letter C will always denote various generic constants which are independent of, for sufficiently small. The notation A = 0(B means that A A B C, while A = o(b means that lim 0 = 0. B Acknowledgment.

She would like to express her gratitude for the hospitality and the stimulating atmosphere. The research of the second author (J.W. is supported by an Earmarked Grant from RGC of Hong Kong.. Coordinates on S n In this section, we introduce the spherical coordinates on S n and derive the equation for u. For this purpose we find it convenient to map S n stereographically onto R n. The equator is mapped into S n 1 and we shall assume that the upper hemisphere is mapped into the unit ball of R n. Let x R n and let (r, θ n 1, θ n,..., θ, ϕ be its spherical coordinates given at (1.8, such that θ k [0, π for k =,..., n 1 and ϕ [0, π. Then dx = dr + r dθ n 1 + r sin θ n 1dθ n r sin θ n 1 sin θ n sin θ n 3... sin θ dϕ.

If we project the ball D S 3 stereographically into R 3 we obtain again a ball of Euclidean radius R 0 = tan θ 3 centered at the origin. The equator corresponds to the concentric ball of Euclidean radius 1. The figures indicate in the meridian plane the maxima of the solutions. We show type III solutions. x 3 R 0 1 x 1 Figure. radial solutions with boundary layer and clustered spikes near the equator Near the boundary the solutions have only one maximum whereas near the equator the number of spikes is any number N N 0 (. This number increases as decreases. This is the same for nonradial solutions. The spikes here lie on circles near the boundary and near the equator.

Approximate Solutions In this section we introduce a family of approximate solutions to (.6 and derive some useful estimates. Since the construction of type III of Theorem 1. is the most complicated, we shall focus on the existence of u 3 in Theorem 1.. The proof of existence of u 1, u can be modified accordingly. We shall use a unified approach to prove both Theorem 1. and Theorem 1.3. Let us now fix j 0 {k + 1,..., n}. (To prove Theorem 1., we take j 0 = n. Let w be the unique solution of (1.6, (see assumption (f. Using ODE analysis, it is standard [17] to see that (3.1 w(y = A n r n k 1 e r + O(r n k+1 e r, y R n k, r = y, w (r = A n r n k 1 e r + O(r n k+1 e r for r 1, where A n > 0 is a generic constant depending on n and f only. We state the following lemma, which measure the interactions of spikes. The proof of it follows from (3.1 and Lebesgue s Dominated Convergence Theorem. See Lemma.3 of [5].

(Observe that by (3.10, the right hand of (3.9 is perpendicular to w y j, j = 1,..., n k. Hence by the assumption (f concerning (1.7, there exists a unique solution to (3.9. Since Ψ 0 does not satisfy the Dirichlet boundary conditions we have to modify it as follows: let (3.11 ( ˆΨ 0 (z = Ψ 0 ((z n t0 n g nn (t 0,..., z k+1 g (k+1(k+1 (t 0 Ψ 0 ( R t0 n g nn (t 0, 0,..., 0 β (z.

Fix (t 0,..., t N Λ. We define two norms: [ n ] (4.1 (u, v = g g 1 ii u + uv, < u, v > = guv. I z i I i=k+1 Since most of the Here g corresponds to volume element related to S n k cf.

Let us consider first the following linear problem: for given h L (I find φ H such that (φ, ψ < f (W φ, ψ > =< h, ψ >, ψ H. This equation can be rewritten as a differential equation { L [φ] := φ φ + f (4.3 (W φ = h + N i=0 c iz i ; φ H, < φ, Z i > = 0, i = 0, 1,..., N, for some constants c i, i = 0, 1,..., N or in an abstract form as (4.4 φ + S(φ = h in H,
16 16 CATHERINE BANDLE AND JUNCHENG WEI where h is defined by duality and S : H H is a linear compact operator. Using Fredholm s alternative, showing that equation (4.4 has a unique solution for each h, is equivalent to showing that the equation has a unique solution for h = 0. Next it will be shown that this is the case when is sufficiently small. In order to derive an a priori bound for φ in terms of h we need the asymptotic behaviour of z i, and Z i in. By elementary computations we obtain, setting y n+1 j = (z j t i j (g jj(t i 1/ (4.5 z i, = (g j 0 j 0 (t i 1/ w y n+1 j0 + R 1 (y (4.6 Z i = (g j 0 j 0 (t i 1/ f (w w y n+1 j0 + R (y where R i (y i = 1, are bounded and integrable over R n k. Let us define the norm (4.7 φ = sup z I φ(z. We have the following result. Proposition 4.1. Let φ satisfy (4.3. Then for sufficiently small, we have (4.8 φ C h where C is a positive constant independent of and (t 0,..., t N Λ. Proof. The proof of this proposition is similar to that of Proposition 4.1 of [6]. We just point out the differences here. the key point here is to use the symmetry assumption (i.e., φ is even in all variables except xi j0 to exlcude many degeneracies. It is important to note that W H and the the equation is invariant under reflections in ξ j, j = n,..., k + 1. Arguing by contradiction, assume that (4.9 φ = 1; h = o(1. Similar to the proof of (4.1 in [6], we obtain (4.10 c i = O( h + o( φ = o(, i = 0, 1,..., N.
17 MULTI-CLUSTERED SOLUTIONS 17 Also, since we are assuming that h = o(1 and since Z i = O ( 1, there holds (4.11 h + Thus (4.3 yields c i Z i = o(1. i=0 (4.1 { φ φ + f (W φ = o(1; φ H < φ, Z i > = 0, i = 0, 1,..., N, We show that (4.1 is incompatible with our assumption φ = 1. First we claim that, for arbitrary, fixed R 0 > 0, there holds (4.13 φ(z 0 on N { z ti < R 0} as 0 i=0 Indeed, assuming the contrary, there exist δ 0 > 0, i {0, 1,..., N} and sequences k, φ k, z k B R0 (t i such that k 0 as k and φ k satisfies (4.3 and (4.14 φ k (z k δ 0 for all k. Without loss of generality, we may assume that i = 1. The proof of the other cases is similar. We also omit the index k for simplicity. Let φ(y = φ(z where z j = t1 j + (g jj (t i 1/ y n+1 j. Then using (4.1 and φ = 1, as k 0 φ k converges weakly in H loc (Rn k and strongly in C 1 loc (Rn k to a bounded function φ 0 which satisfies φ 0 φ 0 + f (wφ 0 = 0 in R n k. Hence φ 0 must tend to zero at infinity and so, by (1.7, φ 0 = n k j=1 c j w y j for some c j. Since φ is even in y j, j = n,..., k + 1, j n + 1 j 0, we see that φ 0 = c j0 w y n+1 j0 On the other hand, φ k Z i in H, we conclude that R n k φ 0 f (w c j0 true. w y n+1 j0 = 0, which yields = 0. Hence φ 0 = 0 and φ k 0 in B R (0. This contradicts (4.14, so (4.13 holds Given δ > 0, the decay of w and (4.13 (with R 0 sufficiently large imply (4.15 f (W φ δ + 1 φ.
18 18 CATHERINE BANDLE AND JUNCHENG WEI Using (4.1 and the Maximum Principle one finds φ f (W φ + c i Z i + h i=0 δ + 1 φ, and hence φ 4δ < 1 if we choose δ < 1. This contradicts ( Using Proposition 4.1 and standard contraction mapping principle, we have the following finite dimensional reduction theorem Theorem 4.. For (t 0,..., t N Λ and sufficiently small, there exists a unique (Φ, c = (Φ,t 0,...,t N, c (t 0,..., t N such that the following holds (4.16 { (W + Φ (W + Φ + f(w + Φ = N i=0 c iz i in I, Φ H Moreover, the map (t 0,..., t N (Φ,t 0,...,t N, c (t 0,..., t N is of class C 0, and we have (4.17 Φ,t 0,...,t N C 1+τ 0. Proof. The proof is exactly the same as Proposition 4. of [6]. we omit the details. 5. Proof of Theorems 1. and 1.3 From (4.16, we see that, to prove the existence of Type III solutions of Theorem 1. and Theorem 1.3, it is enough to find a zero of the vector c (t 0,..., t N = (c 0,, c 1,,..., c N, T. The next Proposition computes the asymptotic formula for c (t 0, t: (Recalling (3.3 Proposition 5.1. For sufficiently small, we have the following asymptotic expansion (5.1 +τ 0 1 R n k (f (w( w y 1 c 0,(t 0,..., t N = d 0ˆt 0 + β 0, (ˆt 0,..., ˆt N, ( (f (w( w R n k y 1 c i,(t 0,..., t N (E = d (ˆt1,..., ˆtN i + β ˆt i i, (ˆt 0,..., ˆt N, i = 1,..., N

Let us now use it to prove Theorem 1. and Theorem 1.3 Proof of Theorem 1.: To prove Theorem 1., we set j 0 = n. To find a zero of c (t 0,..., t N, it is enough to solve the following systems of equations (5.4 d 0ˆt 0 + β 0, (ˆt 0,..., ˆt N = 0, d i ˆt i(e (ˆt 1,..., ˆt N + β i, (ˆt 0,..., ˆt N = 0, i = 1,..., N. By Lemma 3.3, the matrix M is invertible with uniform bound, (5.4 is equivalent to (5.5 (ˆt 0,..., ˆt N = ˆβ (ˆt 0,..., ˆt N where ˆβ (ˆt 0,..., ˆt N is a continuous function in (ˆt 0,..., ˆt N satisfying (5.6 ˆβ (ˆt 0,..., ˆt N = O( τ 0 + ˆt i. Let B = {(ˆt 0,..., ˆt N (ˆt 0,..., ˆt N < τ 0 }. Then Brouwer s fixed point theorem gives a solution in B, called (ˆt 0,..., ˆt 0, to (5.5, which in turn, gives a solution i=0 u 3 = w,t 0,...,t N + Φ,t 0,...,tN to equation (.6, where (5.7 t 0 = ( t 0 + ˆt 0, 0,..., 0, t i = (0,..., t i + ˆt 0, 0,..., 0. It is easy to see that u 3 satisfies all the properties listed in Theorem 1.. Proof of Theorem 1.3: To prove Theorem 1.3, we let j 0 {k + 1,..., n}. Then for each fixed N, there are at least n k solutions u,j0, j 0 = k + 1,..., n. Now we are ready to prove (5.1. Proof of (5.1:

(The fact that all the error terms are continuous in (ˆt 0, ˆt 1,..., ˆt N follows from the continuity of Φ,t 0,...,t N in (t0,..., t N. 6. Proof of three lemmas 6.1. Proof of Lemma 3.. The fact that G is radially symmetric follows from the radial symmetry of w. To study the properties of G when T is large, we note that by (3.1 for T large n k q w(t + y 1, y,..., y n k A n ((T + y 1 + ( yj k+1 n 4 e (T +y 1 + P n k j= y j j= A n T k+1 n e T e y 1+O( 1 T w(t e y 1+O( 1 T Then by Lebesgue s Dominated Convergence Theorem, we derive that (6.15 f(ww(t + y 1, y,..., y n k = (1 + O( 1 R T w(t f(we y 1 n k R n k and so G(T = (1 + O( 1 T w(t The other estimates can be proved in a similar way. 6.. Proof of Lemma 3.3. Note that for T large, w (T > 0 and hence G(T > 0. It is easy to see that a global minimizer of E (t exists since E (t is convex. Let us denote it by ( t 1,..., t N which is unique. Setting t i = (i N+1 ρ + s i, where ρ satisfies then s i satisfies (6.16 A 0 (i N + 1 A 0 ρ = G (ρ, + A 0 s j + e (s j s j 1 e (s j+1 s j + O( which admits a unique solution s = (s 1,..., s N = O(1. j=1 s j ρ = 0, j = 1,..., N
23 MULTI-CLUSTERED SOLUTIONS 3 Let M = ( E (t t i t j. We show that the smallest eigenvalue of M is uniformly bounded from below. In fact, let η = (η 1,..., η N T and we compute (6.17 M ij η i η j = A 0 i,j N j=1 η j + 1 N j= G ( t j t j 1 (η j η j 1 A 0 η which implies that the smallest eigenvalue of M, denoted by λ 1, satisfies (6.18 λ 1 A 0 > 0. Now we consider which proves (3.0. M 1 η = η t M η λ 1 η 6.3. Proof of Lemma 3.4. Using (1.6 it is easy to see that S [W ] = S [W 0 ] + S [ W l ] + O(e 1 C (6.19 = S [W 0 ] + l=1 l=1 S [W l ] + f( W l l=1 l=1 f(w l + O(e 1 C.

(3.30 follows from (3.8 and ( Emden equations of S n Our interest in the existence of positive nonradial solutions grew out from the study of the problem (7.1 S nv λv + v p = 0, v > 0 in D S n, v = 0 on D, λ > 0. in particular when p = n+ is the critical exponent. As in the previous sections we shall n assume that D is a geodesic ball, centered at the North pole with geodesic radius θn. As already mentioned in the Introduction if θ n < π/ all positive solutions are radial. We therefore assume that θ n > π/. If we set u = λ 1 p 1 v and = λ then u satisfies problem (1.1. In [6] it was shown that in contrast to the corresponding problem in the Euclidean space (7.1 possesses for arbitrary p > 1 and large λ radial solutions. There are three types of solutions as in Theorem (1. with k replaced by n 1. As λ increases there are more and more solutions with an increasing number of spikes on n 1- dimensional spheres near the equator. These solutions have been observed numerically in [36]. From Theorem (1. we obtain also the existence of nonradial solutions for (7.1 or equivalently to (1.1. yields Theorem 7.1. Let 1 < p < p k. Then the statements of Theorem (1. remain valid for u = λ 1 p 1 v, v being a positive solution of (7.1. In particular we have λ 1 p 1 v(θ c0 > 0 as θ Σ i, i = 1,, 3 where θ = (θ n,, θ, ϕ. Proof. We only have to show that the assumptions (f1, (f are satisfied for w w + w p = 0 in R n k.
27 MULTI-CLUSTERED SOLUTIONS 7 The existence of a ground state was proved in [37]. The radial symmetry follows from [16], see also the remark in [35]. The uniqueness has been proved in [].
