Two solutions to Kazdan-Warner's problem on surfaces
In this paper, we study the sign-changing Kazdan-Warner's problem on two dimensional closed Riemannian manifold with negative Euler number $\chi(M)<0$. We show that once, the direct method on convex sets is used to find a minimizer of the corresponding functional, then there is another solution via a use of the variational method of mountain pass. In conclusion, we show that there are at least two solutions to the Kazdan-Warner's problem on two dimensional Kazdan-Warner equation provided the prescribed function changes signs and with this average negative.
