Abstract: We provide a sufficient condition for the existence of a positive solution to when is large enough. Here is the unit ball of , , and we deal with both Neumann and Dirichlet homogeneous boundary conditions. The solution turns out to be a constrained minimum of the associated energy functional. As an application we show that in case , is smooth and is sufficiently large, and the Neumann problem always admits a solution.
