Abstract: Answering a question by M. Struwe (Vietnam J. Math. 2020) related to the blow-up behaviour in the Nirenberg problem, we show that the prescribed $Q$-curvature equation ${\displaystyle }$Delta^2 u=(1-|x|^p)e^{4u} ext{ in }mathbb{R}^4,quad Lambda:=int_{mathbb{R}^4}(1-|x|^p)e^{4u}dx<infty${\displaystyle }$ has normal solutions (namely solutions which can be written in integral form, and hence satisfy $Deltau(x)=O(|x{|}^{-2})$ as $|x|oinfty$) if and only if $pin(0,4)$ and ${\displaystyle }$left(1+frac{p}{4} ight)8pi^2le Lambda <16pi^2.${\displaystyle }$ We also prove existence and non-existence results for the positive curvature case, namely for $Delt{a}^{2}u=(1+|x{|}^p)e^{4u}$ in $mathbb{R}^4$, and discuss some open questions.
