Given a regular function $H\colon\mathbb{R}^{3}\to\mathbb{R}$, we look for $H$-bubbles, i.e, regular surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ parametrized on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{2}$ with mean curvature $H$ at every point. Here we study the case $H(u)=H_{0}+\varepsilon H_{1}(u)=:H_{\varepsilon}(u)$, where $H_{0}$ is a nonzero constant, $\varepsilon$ is the smallness parameter, and $H_{1}$ is any $C^{2}$ function. We prove that if $\bar p\in\mathbb{R}^{3}$ is a "good" stationary point for the Melnikov-type function $\Gamma(p)=-\int_{|q-p|<|H_{0}|^{-1}}H_{1}(q)~dq$ then for $|\varepsilon|$ small there exists an $H_{\varepsilon}$-bubble $\omega^{\varepsilon}$ that converges to a sphere of radius $|H_{0}|^{-1}$ centered at $\bar p$, as $\varepsilon\to 0$.

### H-bubbles in a perturbative setting: the finite-dimensional reduction's method

#### Abstract

Given a regular function $H\colon\mathbb{R}^{3}\to\mathbb{R}$, we look for $H$-bubbles, i.e, regular surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ parametrized on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{2}$ with mean curvature $H$ at every point. Here we study the case $H(u)=H_{0}+\varepsilon H_{1}(u)=:H_{\varepsilon}(u)$, where $H_{0}$ is a nonzero constant, $\varepsilon$ is the smallness parameter, and $H_{1}$ is any $C^{2}$ function. We prove that if $\bar p\in\mathbb{R}^{3}$ is a "good" stationary point for the Melnikov-type function $\Gamma(p)=-\int_{|q-p|<|H_{0}|^{-1}}H_{1}(q)~dq$ then for $|\varepsilon|$ small there exists an $H_{\varepsilon}$-bubble $\omega^{\varepsilon}$ that converges to a sphere of radius $|H_{0}|^{-1}$ centered at $\bar p$, as $\varepsilon\to 0$.
