Abstract: For an integer $nge3$ and any positive number $epsilon$ we establish the existence of smooth functions K on $R^{n}setminus0$ with $|K-1|leepsilon$, such that the equation $Deltau+n(n-2)K{u}^{n+2overn-2}=0$ in $R^{n}setminus0$ has a smooth positive solution which blows up at the origin (i.e., u does not have slow decay near the origin). Furthermore, we show that in some cases K can be extended as a Lipschitz function on $R^n.$ These provide counter-examples to a conjecture of C.-S. Lin when n > 4, and Taliaferro's conjecture.

Review text

This very nice paper deals with the existence of blowing-up solutions of equations like \[ \Delta u + n(n-2)Ku^{2^*-1} = 0 \] in \(\mathbb{R}^n\backslash\{0\}\), where \(2^\star = 2n/(n-2)\) is critical from the Sobolev viewpoint, and where \(K\) is required to be close to \(1\). The author proves that there exist such \(K\), smooth in \(\mathbb{R}^n\backslash\{0\}\) and such that \(| K-1| < \epsilon\), for which the equation possesses a solution which blows up at the origin. When \(n > 4\), \(K\) can even be selected to be extended as a Lipschitz function in \(\mathbb{R}^n\).
