Multiple blow-up phenomena for the sinh-Poisson equation

We consider the sinh-Poisson equation $$(P)_λ\quad -Δu=\la\sinh u\ \hbox{in}\ Ω,\ u=0\ \hbox{on}\ \partialΩ,$$ where $Ω$ is a smooth bounded domain in $\rr^2$ and $λ$ is a small positive parameter. If $0\inΩ$ and $Ω$ is symmetric with respect to the origin, for any integer $k$ if $\la$ is small enough, we construct a family of solutions to $(P)_\la$ which blows-up at the origin whose positive mass is $4πk(k-1)$ and negative mass is $4πk(k+1).$ It gives a complete answer to an open problem formulated by Jost-Wang-Ye-Zhou in [Calc. Var. PDE (2008) 31: 263-276].
