Abstract
In this paper, we study an approximate subcritical problem of the problem of prescribing the scalar curvature under minimal boundary conditions on the standard four dimensional half sphere. We construct some sign-changing solutions which blow up at two different points on the boundary. We construct also some sign-changing solutions which blow up at two different points, one of them lay on the boundary and the other one is an interior point.
