Asymptotic profiles for a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with critical combined powers nonlinearity

We study asymptotic behaviour of positive ground state solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation $$ -\Delta u+ u=u^{2^*-1}+\lambda u^{q-1} \quad {\rm in} \ \ \mathbb{R}^N, $$ where $N\ge 3$ is an integer, $2^*=\frac{2N}{N-2}$ is the Sobolev critical exponent, $2<q<2^*$ and $\lambda>0$ is a parameter. It is known that as $\lambda\to 0$, after a rescaling the ground state solutions of the equation converge to a particular solution of the critical Emden-Fowler equation $-\Delta u=u^{2^*-1}$. We establish a sharp asymptotic characterisation of such a rescaling, which depends in a non-trivial way on the space dimension $N=3$, $N=4$ or $N\ge 5$.
