Abstract: In this paper we are interested in positive classical solutions of �egin{equation} label{eqx} left{�egin{array}{ll} -Delta u = a(x) u^{p-1} & mbox{ in } Omega, \ u>0 & mbox{ in } Omega, \ u= 0 & mbox{ on } pOm, end {array} ight. end{equation} where Omega is a bounded annular domain (not necessarily an annulus) in IRN (Nge3) and a(x) is a nonnegative continuous function. We show the existence of a classical positive solution for a range of supercritical values of p when the problem enjoys certain mild symmetry and monotonicity conditions. As a consequence of our results, we shall show that ( ef{eqx}) has BigllfloorfracN2Bigrfloor (the floor of fracN2) positive nonradial solutions when a(x)=1 and Omega is an annulus with certain assumptions on the radii. We also obtain the existence of positive solutions in the case of toroidal domains. Our approach is based on a new variational principle that allows one to deal with supercritical problems variationally by limiting the corresponding functional on a proper convex subset instead of the whole space at the expense of a mild invariance property.
