The purpose of this paper is to present some recent results in two slightly super-critical problems known as the Brezis-Nirenberg problem in dimension n3 and an equation involving the exponential nonlinearity in dimension n2. For that purpose, we perform a phase plane analysis which emphasizes the common heuristic properties of the two problems, although more precise estimates can be obtained in some cases by variational methods.
