Existence of solutions for the Brezis-Nirenberg problem

Abstract

We are concerned with of existence of solutions to the semilinear elliptic problem $$ \begin{cases} - \Delta u=\lambda_{k}u+u^3 &\text{in } \Omega, \\ u= 0 &\text{on }\partial \Omega, \end{cases} $$% in a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{4}$. Here $\lambda_k$ is an eigenvalue of the $-\Delta$ in $H_0^1(\Omega)$. We prove that this problem has a nontrivial solution.
