"Sign Changing Solutions for Elliptic Equations with Critical Growth in Cylinder Type Domains "

Abstract

We prove the existence of positive and of nodal solutions for $-\Delta u=\vert u\vert^{p-2}u+\mu \vert u\vert^{q-2}u$ , $u\in {\rm H_0^1}(\Omega)$ , where $\mu >0$ and , for a class of open subsets $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^N$ lying between two infinite cylinders. We give information on the decay properties of solutions.

This is joint work with Miguel Ramos, of Universidade de Lisboa.
