Abstract

Let p* = n/(n -2) and n ≥ 3. In this paper, we first classify all non-constant solutions of { -Δu = u+p* in ℝn, ∫ℝnu+p*dx < ∞. We then establish a sup + inf and a Moser-Trudinger type inequalities for the equation -Δu = u+p* . Our results illustrate that this equation is much closer to the Liouville problem -Δu = eu in dimension two than the usual critical exponent equation, namely -Δu = un+2/n-2 is.
