A note on a second order PDE with critical nonlinearity

In this work, we are interested in a nonlinear PDE of the form: $-\Delta u = K(x) u^\frac{n+2}{n-2}, u>0$ on $\Omega$ and $u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$, where $n\geq 3$ and $\Omega$ is a regular bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^n$. Following the results of [K. Sharaf, Appl. Anal. 96(2017), No. 9, 146...

Description
Summary:In this work, we are interested in a nonlinear PDE of the form: $-\Delta u = K(x) u^\frac{n+2}{n-2}, u>0$ on $\Omega$ and $u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$, where $n\geq 3$ and $\Omega$ is a regular bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^n$. Following the results of [K. Sharaf, Appl. Anal. 96(2017), No. 9, 1466−1482] and [K. Sharaf, On an elliptic boundary value problem with critical exponent, Turk. J. Math., to appear], we provide a full description of the loss of compactness of the problem and we establish a general index account formula of existence result, when the flatness order of the function $K$ at any of its critical points lies in $(1, \infty)$.
