Ground state solutions for semilinear elliptic equations with zero mass in R^N

Jiu Liu, Jia-Feng Liao, Chun-Lei Tang

Abstract:
In this article, we study the semilinear elliptic equation
$$\displaylines{ -\Delta u=|u|^{p(x)-2}u, \quad x\in \mathbb{R}^N\cr u\in D^{1,2}(\mathbb{R}^N), }$$
where $N\geq3$, $p(x)= p$ if $x \in\Omega$, and $p(x)=2^*:=2N/(N-2)$ if $x\not\in\Omega$, where $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ is a bounded set with nonempty interior. By using the Nehari manifold, we obtain a positive ground state solution.
