A Note on Elliptic Equations Involving the Critical Sobolev Exponent

Abstract

In this work we obtain some existence results for a class of elliptic Dirichlet problems involving the critical Sobolev exponent and containing a parameter. Through a weak lower semicontinuity result and by using a critical point theorem for differentiable functionals, the existence of a precise open interval of positive eigenvalues for which the treated problems admit at least one non-trivial weak solution is established. The attained results represent a more precise version of some contributions on the treated subject. © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2013.
