Title: Multiple positive solutions for degenerate elliptic equations with critical cone Sobolev exponents on singular manifolds Authors: Haining Fan (Wuhan Univ., Wuhan, China) Xiaochun Liu (Wuhan Univ., Wuhan, China) Abstract: In this article, we show the existence of multiple positive solutions to a class of degenerate elliptic equations involving critical cone Sobolev exponent and sign-changing weight function on singular manifolds with the help of category theory and the Nehari manifold method.
