Sign-changing blowing-up solutions for the Brezis--Nirenberg problem in dimensions four and five

We consider the Brezis-Nirenberg problem: $$-Δu =λu + |u|^{p-1}u\qquad \mbox{in}\,\, Ω,\quad u=0\,\, \mbox{on}\,\,\ \partialΩ,$$ where $Ω$ is a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb R^N$, $N\geq 3$, $p=\frac{N+2}{N-2}$ and $λ>0$. In this paper we prove that, if $Ω$ is symmetric and $N=4,5$, there exists a sign-changing solution whose positive part concentrates and blows-up at the center of symmetry of the domain, while the negative part vanishes, as $λ\rightarrow λ_1$, where $λ_1=λ_1(Ω)$ denotes the first eigenvalue of $-Δ$ on $Ω$, with zero Dirichlet boundary condition.
