Résumé

Let Ω be a bounded domain in ${ℝ}^2$ with smooth boundary. In this paper we are concerned with the existence of critical points for the supercritical Trudinger–Moser trace functional

$$\begin{array}{cc}\underset{\partial \Omega }{\int }{e}^{k\pi (1+\mu )u^2}& \text{(0.1)}\end{array}$$

in the set $\{u\in H^1\left(\Omega \right):{\int }_{\Omega }({\left|\nabla u\right|}^2+u^2)dx=1\}$, where $k⩾1$ is an integer and $\mu >0$ is a small parameter. For any integer $k⩾1$ and for any $\mu >0$ sufficiently small, we prove the existence of a pair of k-peaks constrained critical points of the above problem.
