A biharmonic equation in ℝ4involving nonlinearities with critical exponential growth / F. Sani. - In: COMMUNICATIONS ON PURE AND APPLIED ANALYSIS. - ISSN 1534-0392. - 12:1(2013 Jan), pp. 405-428. [10.3934/cpaa.2013.12.405]
Abstract:
In this paper we give sufficient conditions for the existence of so- lutions of a biharmonic equation of the form (equation required) where V is a continuous positive potential bounded away from zero and the nonlinearity f(s) behaves like eα0s2 at infinity for some α0 > 0. In order to overcome the lack of compactness due to the unboundedness of the domain ℝ4, we require some additional assumptions on V . In the case when the potential V is large at infinity we obtain the existence of a nontrivial solution, while requiring the potential V to be spherically symmetric we obtain the existence of a nontrivial radial solution. In both cases, the main difficulty is the loss of compactness due to the critical exponential growth of the nonlinear term f.
