Let \(\Omega\) be an unbounded domain of \(\mathbb{R}^N\), \(N\geq 3\), \(1\leq k\leq N-1\), \[ \lambda_1(\Omega)= \inf\Biggl\{\int_\Omega|\nabla u|^2 dx: u\in H^1_0(\Omega),\;\int_\Omega u^2 dx= 1\Biggr\}. \] Theorem. If a) there exist nonempty bounded open sets \(F\) and \(G\) such that \(F\subset G\subset \mathbb{R}^{N- k}\), \(F\) is a Lipschitz domain and \(\mathbb{R}^k\times F\subset \Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^k\times G\) and for each \(\delta> 0\) there is \(M>0\) such that \(\{y\in \mathbb{R}^{N- k}: (t,y)\in \Omega\}\subset \{y\in \mathbb{R}^{N- k}: \text{dist}(y, F)< \delta\}\) for all \(|t|\geq M\), \(0< \lambda< \lambda_1(\Omega)\), \(N\geq 4\) or \(N= 3\) and \(\lambda_1(\Omega)- \lambda\) is sufficiently small or b) \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^k\times G\) for some open bounded set \(G\subset \mathbb{R}^{N-k}\) and for each \(\delta> 0\) there is \(M> 0\) such that \(\{y\in \mathbb{R}^{N- k}: (t,y)\in \Omega\}\subset S_{N- k}(0, \delta)\) for all \(|t|\geq M\), \(0< \lambda< \lambda_1(\Omega)\), \(N\geq 4\) then there exists \(u\in H^1_0(\Omega)\), \(0\neq u\geq 0\) such that \(-\Delta u- \lambda u= u^{{N+2\over N-2}}\).
