Synopsis

In this paper we show that if the decay of nonzero ƒ is fast enough, then the perturbation Dirichlet problem −Δu + u = up + ƒ(z) in Ω has at least two positive solutions, where

a bounded C1,1 domain S = × ω Rn, D is a bounded C1,1 domain in Rm+n such that D ⊂⊂ S and Ω = S\D. In case ƒ ≡ 0, we assert that there is a positive higher-energy solution providing that D is small.
