Abstract

We consider the problem Δu=up2uinΩ,u=0onΩ, -\Delta u=|u|^{p-2}u in \Omega, u=0 on \partial\Omega, where Ω:={(y,z)Rm+1×RNm1:0<a<y<b<}\Omega:=\{(y,z)\in\mathbb{R}^{m+1}\times\mathbb{R}^{N-m-1}: 0<a<|y|<b<\infty\}, 0mN10\leq m\leq N-1 and N2N\geq2. Let 2N,m:=2(Nm)/(Nm2)2_{N,m}^{\ast}:=2(N-m)/(N-m-2) if m<N2m<N-2 and 2N,m:=2_{N,m}^{\ast}:=\infty if m=N2m=N-2 or N1N-1. We show that 2N,m2_{N,m}^{\ast} is the true critical exponent for this problem, and that there exist nontrivial solutions if 2<p<2N,m2<p<2_{N,m}^{\ast} but there are no such solutions if p2N,mp\geq2_{N,m}^{\ast}.
