Synopsis

We consider two boundary value problems (of Neumann or related type) associated with the equation in Ω. The existence of a solution was previously established assuming that p < N/(N −s2). (N dimension of Ω.) We prove that this exponent is critical for these problems, at least in the radially symmetric case when Ω is a ball. This is understood in the sense that the existence result does not hold when p ≧ N/(N − 2).
