Abstract

In this paper we study the asymptotic and qualitative properties of least energy radial sign-changing solutions of the fractional Brezis--Nirenberg problem ruled by the s-Laplacian, in a ball of $R^n$, when $s in (0,1)$ and $n > 6s$. As usual, $lambda$ is the (positive) parameter in the linear part in $u$. We prove that for $lambda$ sufficiently small such solutions cannot vanish at the origin, we show that they change sign at most twice and their zeros coincide with the sign-changes. Moreover, when $s$ is close to $1$, such solutions change sign exactly once. Finally we prove that least energy nodal solutions which change sign exactly once have the limit profile of a ``tower of bubbles'', as $lambda o 0^+$, i.e. the positive and negative parts concentrate at the same point with different concentration speeds.
