## Concentrating solutions for an anisotropic elliptic problem with large exponent

 1 Department of mathematics, East China Normal University, 500 Dong Chuan Road, Shanghai 200241 2 IECL, UMR 7502, Département de Mathématiques, Université de Lorraine, Bât. A, Ile de Saulcy, 57045 Metz Cedex 1, France

We consider the following anisotropic boundary value problem $$\nabla (a(x)\nabla u) + a(x)u^p = 0, \;\; u>0 \ \ \mbox{in} \ \Omega, \quad u = 0 \ \ \mbox{on} \ \partial\Omega,$$ where $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ is a bounded smooth domain, $p$ is a large exponent and $a(x)$ is a positive smooth function. We investigate the effect of anisotropic coefficient $a(x)$ on the existence of concentrating solutions. We show that at a given strict local maximum point of $a(x)$, there exist arbitrarily many concentrating solutions.
