We consider the supercritical problemwhere Θ is a bounded smooth domain in R N , N ≥ 3, p > 2 * := 2N N−2 , and Θǫ is obtained by deleting the ǫ-neighborhood of some sphere which is embedded in Θ. In some particular situations we show that, for ǫ > 0 small enough, this problem has a positive solution vǫ and that these solutions concentrate and blow up along the sphere as ǫ → 0.Our approach is to reduce this problem to a critical problem of the formin a punctured domain Ωǫ := {x ∈ Ω : |x − ξ 0 | > ǫ} of lower dimension, by means of some Hopf map. We show that, if Ω is a bounded smooth domain in R n , n ≥ 3, ξ 0 ∈ Ω, Q ∈ C 2 (Ω) is positive and ∇Q(ξ 0 ) = 0 then, for ǫ > 0 small enough, this problem has a positive solution uǫ, and that these solutions concentrate and blow up at ξ 0 as ǫ → 0.Key words: Nonlinear elliptic problem; supercritical problem; nonautonomous critical problem; positive solutions; domains with a spherical perforation, blow-up along a sphere.MSC2010: 35J60, 35J20.
