Abstract

We consider the Brezis-Nirenberg problem: Δu=λu+up1u\mboxinΩ,u=0\mboxon Ω,-\Delta u =\lambda u + |u|^{p-1}u\qquad \mbox{in}\,\, \Omega,\quad u=0\,\, \mbox{on}\,\,\ \partial\Omega, where Ω\Omega is a smooth bounded domain in RN\mathbb R^N, N3N\geq 3, p=N+2N2p=\frac{N+2}{N-2} and λ>0\lambda>0. In this paper we prove that, if Ω\Omega is symmetric and N=4,5N=4,5, there exists a sign-changing solution whose positive part concentrates and blows-up at the center of symmetry of the domain, while the negative part vanishes, as λλ1\lambda\rightarrow \lambda_1, where λ1=λ1(Ω)\lambda_1=\lambda_1(\Omega) denotes the first eigenvalue of Δ-\Delta on Ω\Omega, with zero Dirichlet boundary condition.
