We study the leading order behaviour of positive solutions of the equation - Δ u + ϵ u - | u | p - 2 u + | u | q - 2 u = 0 , x N , where N 3 , q > p > 2 and when ϵ > 0 is a small parameter. We give a complete characterization of all possible asymptotic regimes as a function of p , q and N . The behavior of solutions depends sensitively on whether p is less, equal or bigger than the critical Sobolev exponent 2 * = 2 N N - 2 . For p < 2 * the solution asymptotically coincides with the solution of the equation in which the last term is absent. For p > 2 * the solution asymptotically coincides with the solution of the equation with ϵ = 0 . In the most delicate case p = 2 * the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions is given by a particular solution of the critical Emden–Fowler equation, whose choice depends on ϵ in a nontrivial way.

We give a complete characterization of all possible asymptotic regimes as a function of $p$, $q$ and $N$. The behavior of solutions depends sensitively on whether $p$ is less, equal or bigger than the critical Sobolev exponent $2^\ast =\frac{2N}{N-2}$. For $p<2^\ast $ the solution asymptotically coincides with the solution of the equation in which the last term is absent.
