On the solutions of a singular elliptic equation concentrating on two orthogonal spheres

Let \({A=\{x\in \mathbb{R}^{2m}: 0 < a < |x| < b\}}\) be an annulus. We consider the following singularly perturbed elliptic problem on A $$\left\{\begin{array}{lll}-\varepsilon ^2{\Delta u} + |x|^{\eta}u =|x|^{\eta}u^p, \quad {\rm in} A,\\ u > 0, \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad {\rm in} A, \\ u=0, \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad {\rm on}\partial A,\end{array}\right. $$ where \({1 < p < \frac{m+3}{m-1}}\) . We shall prove the existence of a positive solution \({u_\epsilon }\) which concentrates on two different orthogonal spheres of dimension (m?1) as \({\varepsilon \to 0}\) . We achieve this by studying a reduced problem on an annular domain in \({\mathbb{R}^{m+1}}\) and analysing the profile of a two point concentrating solution in this domain.
