Résumé
Abstract

On montre que, si $Ω$ satisfait certaines conditions, le problème (1) ci-dessous, pour ε>0 suffisamment petit et k grand, admet des solutions qui pour ε→0 se concentrent et explosent exactement en k points ; les points de concentration s'approchent du bord de $Ω$ quand k→∞ ; le nombre de solutions est arbitrairement grand pourvu que ε soit suffisamment petit. Parmi les ouverts bornés $Ω$ qui satisfont ces conditions il y en a aussi de contractibles, qui peuvent même être arbitrairement proches de ouverts étoilés.

Under suitable assumptions on $Ω$ , we show that, for ε>0 small and k large enough, problem (1) below has solutions which concentrate and blow-up as ε→0 at exactly k points; the blowing-up points approach $\partial Ω$ as k→∞; the number of solutions tends to infinity as ε→0. These assumptions allow $Ω$ to be contractible and even arbitrarily close to starshaped domains.
