Existence of positive and sign-changing solutions for p-laplace equations with potentials in R^N

Mingzhu Wu, Zuodong Yang

Abstract:
We study the perturbed equation
$$\displaylines{ -\varepsilon^{p}\hbox{div}(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u)+V(x)|u|^{p-2}u=h(x,u)+K(x)|u|^{p^*-2}u,\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^N\cr u(x)\to 0\quad \hbox{as } |x|\to\infty\,. }$$
where $2\leq p<N$, $p^*={\frac{pN}{N-p}}$, $p<q<p^*$. Under proper conditions on $V(x)$ and $h(x,u)$, we obtain the existence and multiplicity of solutions. We also study the existence of solutions which change sign.
