In this paper we consider the problem of prescribing the mean curvature on the boundary of the unit ball of R n , n ≥ 4. Under the assumption that the prescribed function is flat near its critical point, we give precise estimates on the losses of the compactness, and we provide a new existence result of Bahri-Coron type. Moreover, we establish, under generic boundary condition, a Morse inequality at infinity, which gives a lower bound on the number of solutions to the above problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
