Abstract

We consider the following Hénon equation with critical growth:

where is a positive constant, is the unit ball in , and . Ni [9] proved the existence of a radial solution and Serra [12] proved the existence of a nonradial solution for large and . In this paper, we show the existence of a nonradial solution for any and . Furthermore, we prove that equation (*) has infinitely many nonradial solutions, whose energy can be made arbitrarily large.
