Abstract

In this paper, we consider the existence and multiplicity of solutions for the critical Neumann problem \begin{equation}\label{1.1ab} \left\{ \begin{aligned} -\Delta {u}-\frac{1}{2}(x \cdot{\nabla u})&= \lambda{|u|^{{2}^{*}-2}u}+{\mu {|u|^{p-2}u}}& \ \ \mbox{in} \ \ \ {{\mathbb{R}}^{N}_{+}}, \frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial n}}&=\sqrt{\lambda}|u|^{{2}_{*}-2}u \ & \mbox{on}\ {{\partial {{\mathbb{R}}^{N}_{+}}}}, \end{aligned} \right. \end{equation} where R+N={(x,xN):xRN1,xN>0} \mathbb{R}^{N}_{+}=\{(x{'}, x_{N}): x{'}\in {\mathbb{R}}^{N-1}, x_{N}>0\}, N3N\geq3, λ>0\lambda>0, μR\mu\in \mathbb{R}, 2<p<22< p <{2}^{*}, nn is the outward normal vector at the boundary R+N{{\partial {{\mathbb{R}}^{N}_{+}}}}, 2=2NN22^{*}=\frac{2N}{N-2} is the usual critical exponent for the Sobolev embedding D1,2(R+N)L2(R+N)D^{1,2}({\mathbb{R}}^{N}_{+})\hookrightarrow {L^{{2}^{*}}}({\mathbb{R}}^{N}_{+}) and 2=2(N1)N2{2}_{*}=\frac{2(N-1)}{N-2} is the critical exponent for the Sobolev trace embedding D1,2(R+N)L2(R+N)D^{1,2}({\mathbb{R}}^{N}_{+})\hookrightarrow {L^{{2}_{*}}}(\partial \mathbb{R}^{N}_{+}). By establishing an improved Pohozaev identity, we show that the problem has no nontrivial solution if μ0\mu \le 0; By applying the Mountain Pass Theorem without (PS)(PS) condition and the delicate estimates for Mountain Pass level, we obtain the existence of a positive solution for all λ>0\lambda>0 and the different values of the parameters pp and μ>0{\mu}>0. Particularly, for λ>0\lambda >0, N4N\ge 4, 2<p<22<p<2^*, we prove that the problem has a positive solution if and only if μ>0\mu >0. Moreover, the existence of multiple solutions for the problem is also obtained by dual variational principle for all μ>0\mu>0 and suitable λ\lambda.
