Abstract

We consider the problem of conformal metrics equivalent to the Euclidean met-ric, with zero scalar curvature and prescribed mean curvature on the boundary of the ball Bn , n≥4. By variational methods, we prove the existence of two peak solutions that concen-trate around a strict local maximum points of the mean curvature under certain conditions.
