We consider the equation−Δu = |u|4/(N−2)u + εf(x) under zero Dirichlet boundary conditions in a bounded domain Ω in RN exhibiting certain symmetries, with f ≥ 0, f ≠ 0. In particular, we find that the number of sign-changing solutions goes to infinity for radially symmetric f, as ε → 0 if Ω is a ball. The same is true for the number of negative solutions if Ω is an annulus and the support of f is compact in Ω.

Abstract We consider the following semilinear elliptic equation with critical exponent: Δ u = K(x) u^{(n+2)/(n-2)} , u > 0 in \mathbb{R}^{n} , where {n\geq 3} , {K>0} is periodic in ( x_{1} ,…, x_{k} ) with 1 \leq k < (n-2)/2. Under some natural conditions on K near a critical point, we prove the existence of multi-bump solutions where the centers of bumps can be placed in some lattices in {\mathbb{R}^{k}} , including infinite lattices. We also show that for k \geq (n-2)/2, no such solutions exist.
