The $C^0$-convergence at the Neumann boundary for Liouville equations

Abstract

In this paper, we study the blow-up analysis for a sequence of solutions to the Liouville type equation with exponential Neumann boundary condition. For interior case, i.e. the blow-up point is an interior point, Li \cite{Li} gave a uniform asymptotic estimate. Later, Zhang \cite{Zhang} and Gluck \cite{Gluck} improved Li's estimate in the sense of $C^0$-convergence by using the method of moving planes or classification of solutions of the linearized version of Liouville equation. If the sequence blows up at a boundary point, Bao-Wang-Zhou \cite{Bao-Wang-Zhou} proved a similar asymptotic estimate of Li \cite{Li}. In this paper, we will prove a $C^0$-convergence result in this boundary blow-up process. Our method is different from \cite{Zhang,Gluck}.
