Abstract: Let $(M,g)$ be an $n-$dimensional compact Riemannian manifold. Let $h$ be a smooth function on $M$ and assume that it has a critical point $xiinM$ such that $h(xi)=0$ and which satisfies a suitable flatness assumption. We are interested in finding conformal metrics $g_{l}ambda=u_{l}ambd{a}^{f}rac4n-2g$, with $u>0$, whose scalar curvature is the prescribed function $h_{l}ambda=lambd{a}^2+h$, where $lambda$ is a small parameter. In the positive case, i.e. when the scalar curvature $R_g$ is strictly positive, we find a family of bubbling metrics $g_{l}ambda$, where $u_{l}ambda$ blows-up at the point $xi$ and approaches zero far from $xi$ as $lambda$ goes to zero. In the general case, if in addition we assume that there exists a non-degenerate conformal metric $g_0=u_0^{f}rac4n-2g$, with $u_0>0$, whose scalar curvature is equal to $h$, then there exists a bounded family of conformal metrics $g_{0,lambda}=u_{0,lambda}^{f}rac4n-2g$, with $u_{0,lambda}>0$, which satisfies $u_{0,lambda}o{u}_0$ uniformly as $lambdao0$. Here, we build a second family of bubbling metrics $g_{l}ambda$, where $u_{l}ambda$ blows-up at the point $xi$ and approaches $u_0$ far from $xi$ as $lambda$ goes to zero. In particular, this shows that this problem admits more than one solution.
