The authors study the problem of finding a metric conformally equivalent to the standard metric on the sphere \(S^ 3\) and with prescribed scalar curvature K. The difficulty consists in the failure of the Palais-Smale condition of the corresponding variational problem. This difficulty is overcome in the paper under certain (non-degeneracy) assumptions on K.
