This paper is concerned with the problem of prescribing the Paneitz curvature on the standard n-sphere, n 5. We employ the critical points theory of A. Bahri 3 to establish an index-counting criteria for existence of solutions when the prescribed function is flat near its critical points for an order (1, n].
Alghanemi et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
