Multi-bubble nodal solutions for slightly subcritical elliptic problems in domains with symmetries
Annales de l'I.H.P. Analyse non linéaire, Tome 30 (2013) no. 6, pp. 1027-1047.

We study the existence of sign-changing solutions with multiple bubbles to the slightly subcritical problem

-Δu=|u| 2 -2-ϵ uinΩ,u=0onΩ,
where Ω is a smooth bounded domain in N , N3, 2 =2N N-2 and ϵ>0 is a small parameter. In particular we prove that if Ω is convex and satisfies a certain symmetry, then a nodal four-bubble solution exists with two positive and two negative bubbles.
