Radial prescribing scalar curvature on $RP^n$

The study of radial prescribing scalar curvature of X.Xu and P.C.Yang [2] in 1993 showed a nonexistence result on $S^2$. Later in 1995, W.Chen and C.Li [2] generalized the nonexistence result to higher dimensions. G.Bianchi and E.Egnell [1] suggested that there may exist some non-negative smooth radial function which cannot be scalar curvature in the standard conformal class of $RP^n.$ However, in our paper, we prove that all smooth radial non-negative smooth functions which are positive on the pole could be prescribing scalar curvatures. We consider the quotient $\frac{v_λ}{V_λ}$ rather than the difference $v_λ-V_λ$ as in [1]. This trick yields a concise argument of the existence. Consequently, their counter examples stated in [1] cannot be true on $RP^n.$
