Abstract: The existence of multiple nonnegative solutions to the anisotropic critical problem - sum_{i=1}^{N} frac{partial}{partial x_i} (| frac{partial u}{partial x_i} |^{p_i-2} frac{partial u}{partial x_i}) = |u|^{p^*-2} u {in} mathbb{R}^N is proved in suitable anisotropic Sobolev spaces. The solutions correspond to extremal functions of a certain best Sobolev constant. The main tool in our study is an adaptation of the well-known concentration-compactness lemma of P.-L. Lions to anisotropic operators. Futhermore, we show that the set of nontrival solutions calS is included in Linfty(RN) and is located outside of a ball of radius au>0 in Lp*(RN).
