Abstract

We consider the following singularly perturbed Neumann problem

where is the unit ball in , is a small parameter and f is superlinear. It is known that this problem has multiple solutions (spikes) concentrating at some points of . In this paper, we prove the existence of radial solutions which concentrate at N spheres , where are such that .
