Abstract.

This paper is concerned with where Ω is a bounded smooth domain in R N, T D >0, D>0, and p>1 with (N−2)pN+2. Let P 2 be the projection from L 2(Ω) onto the second Neumann eigenspace. We prove that, if P 2φ≠0 in Ω and D is sufficiently large, the solution u of (P) blows up only near the set ℳ∪∂Ω, where \({{{{\cal{ M}}}=\{x\in\overline{{\Omega}}:(P_2 \phi)(x) =\max_{{y\in\overline{{\Omega}}}}(P_2 \phi)(y)\}}}\).
