Abstract: Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian surface without boundary, W1,2(M) be the usual Sobolev space, J:W1,2(M)ightarrowmathbbR be the functional defined by J(u)=frac{1}{2}int_M| abla u|^2dv_g+8pi int_M udv_g-8pilogint_Mhe^udv_g, where h is a positive smooth function on M. In an inspiring work (Asian J. Math., vol. 1, pp. 230-248, 1997), Ding, Jost, Li and Wang obtained a sufficient condition under which J achieves its minimum. In this note, we prove that if the smooth function h satisfies hgeq0 and hotequiv0, then the above result still holds. Our method is to exclude blow-up points on the zero set of h.
