%0 Journal Article %T On a Brezis-Nirenberg type problem %A Florin Catrina %J Electronic Journal of Differential Equations %D 2006 %I Texas State University %X In this note we discuss the existence and symmetry breaking of least energy solutions for certain weighted elliptic equations in the unit ball in $mathbb{R}^N$, with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. We prove a multiplicity result, which answers one of the questions we left open in [6] regarding a Brezis-Nirenberg type problem. %K Positive solution %K ground state %K symmetry breaking. %U http://ejde.math.txstate.edu/Volumes/2006/146/abstr.html
