Abstract: In this paper, we study the decomposition of the Nehari manifold via the combination of concave and convex nonlinearities. Furthermore, we use this result to prove that the semilinear elliptic equation with a sign-changing weight function has at least two positive solutions.

Keywords:  Critical Sobolev exponent, Nehari manifold, concave-convex nonlinearities.
