Abstract
Let \((\Sigma ,g)\) be a closed Riemann surface, \(\lambda _1(\Sigma )\) be the first eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator. Assume \(h:\Sigma \rightarrow \mathbb {R}\) is some smooth sign-changing function. Using blow-up analysis, we prove that for any \(\alpha <\lambda _1(\Sigma )\), the supremum
is attained by some admissible function \(u_\alpha \). This generalizes earlier results of Yang (J. Differential Equations 2015) and Hou (J. Math. ineq. 2018). Our result resembles existence of solutions to the mean field equations
