Nous étudions le problème suivant de perturbations singulières :

ϵ 2 Δu-u+u p =0 dans Ω,u>0 dans Ω et ∂u ∂ν=0 sur ∂Ω,
où Ω est un domaine ouvert dans ℝ N , ε>0 est une constante petite et p est un exposant souscritique. L'énergie s'écrit alors J ϵ [u]:=∫ Ω (ϵ 2 2|∇u| 2 +1 2u 2 -1 p+1u p+1 )dx, où u∈H 1 (Ω). Ni et Takagi montrent que pour une solution uε avec une pic sur la frontière du domaine, on a le développement asymptotique suivant :
J ϵ [u ϵ ]=ϵ N 1 2I[w]-c 1 ϵH(P ϵ )+o(ϵ),
où c1>0 est une constante générique, Pε est le point unique de maximum local de uε et H(Pε) est la fonction de la courbure moyenne sur la frontière. On établit que :
J ϵ [u ϵ ]=ϵ N 1 2I[w]-c 1 ϵH(P ϵ )+ϵ 2 [c 2 (H(P ϵ )) 2 +c 3 R(P ϵ )]+o(ϵ 2 ),
où c2, c3 sont les constantes génériques et R(Pε) est la courbure scalaire de Ricci en Pε. En particulier c3>0. Nous présentons des applications de ce développement asymptotique.

We consider the following singularly perturbed semilinear elliptic problem:

ϵ 2 Δu-u+u p =0 in Ω,u>0 in Ω and ∂u ∂ν=0 on ∂Ω,
where Ω is a bounded smooth domain in ℝ N , ε>0 is a small constant and p is a subcritical exponent. Let J ϵ [u]:=∫ Ω (ϵ 2 2|∇u| 2 +1 2u 2 -1 p+1u p+1 )dx be its energy functional, where u∈H 1 (Ω). Ni and Takagi proved that for a single boundary spike solution uε, the following asymptotic expansion holds
J ϵ [u ϵ ]=ϵ N 1 2I[w]-c 1 ϵH(P ϵ )+o(ϵ),
where c1>0 is a generic constant, Pε is the unique local maximum point of uε and H(Pε) is the boundary mean curvature function. In this Note, we obtain the following higher order expansion of Jε[uε]:
J ϵ [u ϵ ]=ϵ N 1 2I[w]-c 1 ϵH(P ϵ )+ϵ 2 [c 2 (H(P ϵ )) 2 +c 3 R(P ϵ )]+o(ϵ 2 ),
where c2, c3 are generic constants and R(Pε) is the Ricci scalar curvature at Pε. In particular c3>0. Applications of this expansion will be given.
