Asymptotic behaviour of the least energy solutions of fractional semilinear Neumann problem

Abstract

We establish the asymptotic behaviour of the least energy solutions of the following nonlocal Neumann problem: \begin{align*} \left\{\begin{array}{l l} { d(-Δ)^{s}u+ u= \abs{u}^{p-1}u } \text{ in $Ω,$ } { \mathcal{N}_{s}u=0 } \text{ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}\setminus \overlineΩ,$} {u>0} \text{ in $Ω,$} \end{array} \right.\end{align*} where $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ is a bounded domain of class $C^{1,1}$, $1 \max \left\{1, 2s \right\}, 0 0$ and $\mathcal{N}_{s}u$ is the nonlocal Neumann derivative. We show that for small $d,$ the least energy solutions $u_d$ of the above problem achieves $L^{\infty}$ bound independent of $d.$ Using this together with suitable $L^{r}$-estimates on $u_d,$ we show that least energy solution $u_d$ achieve maximum on the boundary of $Ω$ for $d$ sufficiently small.
