On some sequences of positive solutions of elliptic problems with critical Sobolev exponent (Q1195191)

Summary: We present some existence and multiplicity results of positive solutions of the equation \(\Delta u+u^{2^*-1}=0\) in \(H^{1,2}_ 0(\Omega)\), where \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain of \(\mathbb{R}^ n\) with \(n\geq 3\) and \(2^*=2n/(n-2)\). We show that suitable perturbations of \(\Omega\) give the existence of positive solutions which converge to zero as the capacity of the perturbation goes to zero. In particular, we obtain existence and multiplicity results of positive solutions in some bounded contractable domains, without any symmetry assumption.
