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(-\Delta)^{s}u+ u= \abs{u}^{p-1}u } \text{ in $\Omega,$ } { \mathcal{N}{s}u=0 } \text{ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}\setminus \overline{\Omega},$} {u>0} \text{ in $\Omega,$} \end{array} \right.\end{align*} where $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ is a bounded domain of class $C^{1,1}$, $1<p<\frac{n+s}{n-s},\,n> \max \left{1, 2s \right}, 0<s\<1,\,d\>0$ 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 $\Omega$ for $d$ sufficiently small.
