Abstract: We study the equation $Delt{a}_{g}u-fracn-24(n-1)R(g)u+K{u}^p=0(1+zetaleqpleqfracn+2n-2)$ on locally conformally flat compact manifolds $(M^n,g)$. We prove the following: (i) When the scalar curvature $R(g)>0$ and the dimension $ngeq4$, under suitable conditions on $K$, all positive solutions $u$ have uniform upper and lower bounds; (ii) When the scalar curvature $R(g)equiv0$ and $ngeq5$, under suitable conditions on $K$, all positive solutions $u$ with bounded energy have uniform upper and lower bounds. We also give an example to show that the energy bound condition for the uniform estimates in math.DG/0602636 is necessary.
