Abstract

We consider the problem of prescribing the scalar and boundary mean curvatures via conformal deformation of the metric on a nn- dimensional compact Riemannian manifold. We deal with the case of negative scalar curvature KK and boundary mean curvature HH of arbitrary sign which are non-constant and Dn=n(n1)K1/2>1\mathfrak D_n=\sqrt{n(n-1)}{|K|}^{-1/2}>1 at some point of the boundary. It is known that this problem admits a positive mountain pass solution if n=3n=3, while no existence results are known for n4n\geq 4. We will consider a perturbation of the geometric problem and show the existence of a positive solution which blows-up at a boundary point which is critical for both prescribed curvatures.
