We show that the critical nonlinear elliptic Neumann problem Δ u μ u + u 7 / 3 = 0 in Ω , u > 0 in Ω , u ν = 0 on Ω , where Ω is a bounded and smooth domain in 5 , has arbitrarily many solutions, provided that μ > 0 is small enough. More precisely, for any positive integer K , there exists μ K > 0 such that for 0 < μ < μ K , the above problem has a nontrivial solution which blows up at K interior points in Ω , as μ 0 . The location of the blow-up points is related to the domain geometry. The solutions are obtained as critical points of some finite-dimensional reduced energy functional. No assumption on the symmetry, geometry nor topology of the domain is needed.

AB - We show that the critical nonlinear elliptic Neumann problem $\Delta u−\mu u+u^{7/3}=0$ in $\Omega $, $u>0$ in $\Omega $, $\frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu }=0$ on $\partial \Omega $, where $\Omega $ is a bounded and smooth domain in $\mathbb {R}^5$, has arbitrarily many solutions, provided that $\mu >0$ is small enough. More precisely, for any positive integer $K$, there exists $\mu _K>0$ such that for $0<\mu <\mu _K$, the above problem has a nontrivial solution which blows up at $K$ interior points in $\Omega $, as $\mu \rightarrow 0$. The location of the blow-up points is related to the domain geometry. The solutions are obtained as critical points of some finite-dimensional reduced energy functional.
