Hardy potential versus lower order terms in Dirichlet problems: regularizing effects

<abstract><p>In this paper, dedicated to Ireneo Peral, we study the regularizing effect of some lower order terms in Dirichlet problems despite the presence of Hardy potentials in the right hand side.</p></abstract>

Ground state solution for the Schrödinger equation with Hardy potential and critical Sobolev exponent

In this paper, we consider the following Schrödinger equation (0.1) − Δ u − μ u | x | 2 + V ( x ) u = K ( x ) | u | 2 ∗ − 2 u + f ( x , u ) , x ∈ R N , u ∈ H 1 ( R N ) , where N ⩾ 4, 0 ⩽ μ < μ ‾, μ ‾ = ( N − 2 ) 2 4 , V is periodic in x, K and f are asymptotically periodic in x, we take advantage of the generalized Nehari manifold approach developed by Szulkin and Weth to look for the ground state solution of (0.1).
