We consider the following nonlinear Neumann problem: \[
\] where
is a smooth and bounded domain,
and
denotes the outward unit normal vector of
. Lin and Ni (1986) conjectured that for
small, all solutions are constants . We show that this conjecture is false for all dimensions in some (partially symmetric) nonconvex domains
. Furthermore, we prove that for any fixed
, there are infinitely many positive solutions , whose energy can be made arbitrarily large. This seems to be a new phenomenon for elliptic problems in bounded domains.
