Today engineering and science researchers routinely confront problems in mathematical modeling involving solutions techniques for differential equations. Sometimes these solutions can be obtained analytically by numerous traditional ad hoc methods appropriate for integrating particular types of equations. More often, however, the solutions cannot be obtained by these methods, in spite of the fact that, e.g. over 400 types of integrable second-order ordinary differential equations were summarized...

We consider the semilinear Lane–Emden problem $$ where $p>1$ and $\Omega$ is a smooth bounded domain of ${ℝ}^2$. The aim of the paper is to analyze the asymptotic behavior of sign changing solutions of ${(}_p)$, as $p\to +\infty$. Among other results we show, under some symmetry assumptions on $\Omega$, that the positive and negative parts of a family of symmetric solutions concentrate at the same point, as $p\to +\infty$, and the limit profile looks like a tower of two bubbles given by a superposition of a regular and a singular solution of the Liouville...
