Since then, a huge amount of work has been done. In the following we will make a brief history highlighting the results which are much closer to the problem we wish to study in the present paper.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-07-10T09:02:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "brezis-nirenberg problem", "bounded regular domain", "brief history", "famous paper", "autonomous case" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
