Bifurcation of positive solutions for a semilinear equation with critical Sobolev exponent
Electronic journal of differential equations, Tome 2006 (2006)
In this note we consider bifurcation of positive solutions to the semilinear elliptic boundary-value problem with critical Sobolev exponent

$\displaylines{ -\Delta u = \lambda u - \alpha u^p+ u^{2^*-1}, \quad u greater than 0 , \quad \hbox{in } \Omega,\cr u=0, \quad \hbox{on } \partial\Omega. }$

where $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n, n\ge 3 $ is a bounded $C^2$-domain $\lambda greater than \lambda_1, 1 less than p less than 2^* -1= \frac{n+2}{n-2} and $alpha$ is a bifurcation parameter. Brezis and Nirenberg [2] showed that a lower order (non-negative) perturbation can contribute to regain the compactness and whence yields existence of solutions. We study the equation with an indefinite perturbation and prove a bifurcation result of two solutions for this equation.$
