We consider the problem of prescribing the scalar and boundary mean curvatures via conformal deformation of the metric on a n- dimensional compact Riemannian manifold. We deal with the case of negative scalar curvature K and boundary mean curvature H of arbitrary sign which are non-constant and \mathfrak Dn=√(n(n-1))|K|-1/2>1 at some point of the boundary. It is known that this problem admits a positive mountain pass solution if n=3, while no existence results are known for n≥ 4. We will consider a perturbation of the geometric problem and show the existence of a positive solution which blows-up at a boundary point which is critical for both prescribed curvatures.
