We show that the supports of the limiting profiles of their components are pairwise disjoint smooth domains and solve a nonlinear optimal partition problem of <inline-formula><tex-math id="M3">\begin{document}$ \mathbb R^N $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>. We give a detailed description of the shape of these domains.</p>

Abstract We study an optimal $M$-partition problem for the Yamabe equation on the round sphere, in the presence of some particular symmetries. We show that there is a correspondence between solutions to this problem and least energy sign-changing symmetric solutions to the Yamabe equation on the sphere with precisely $M$ nodal domains. The existence of an optimal partition is established through the study of the limit profiles of least energy solutions to a weakly coupled competitive elliptic system on the sphere.

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>We prove the existence of regular optimal <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ G $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>-invariant partitions, with an arbitrary number <inline-formula><tex-math id="M2">\begin{document}$ \ell\geq 2 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> of components, for the Yamabe equation on a closed Riemannian manifold <inline-formula><tex-math id="M3">\begin{document}$ (M,g) $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> when <inline-formula><tex-math id="M4">\begin{document}$ G $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> is a compact group of isometries of <inline-formula><tex-math id="M5">\begin{document}$ M $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> with infinite orbits. To this aim, we study a weakly coupled competitive elliptic system of <inline-formula><tex-math id="M6">\begin{document}$ \ell $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> equations, related to the Yamabe equation. We show that this system has a least energy <inline-formula><tex-math id="M7">\begin{document}$ G $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>-invariant solution with nontrivial components and we show that the limit profiles of its components separate spatially as the competition parameter goes to <inline-formula><tex-math id="M8">\begin{document}$ -\infty $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>, giving rise to an optimal partition. For <inline-formula><tex-math id="M9">\begin{document}$ \ell = 2 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> the optimal partition obtained yields a least energy sign-changing <inline-formula><tex-math id="M10">\begin{document}$ G $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>-invariant solution to the Yamabe equation with precisely two nodal domains.</p>

In this paper, we consider the Hénon problem in the ball with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We study the asymptotic profile of radial solutions and then deduce the exact computation of their Morse index when the exponent [Formula: see text] is close to [Formula: see text]. Next we focus on the planar case and describe the asymptotic profile of some solutions which minimize the energy among functions which are invariant for reflection and rotations of a given angle [Formula: see text]. By considerations based on the Morse index we see that, depending on the values of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], such least energy solutions can be radial, or nonradial and different one from another.
