Existence of solutions for a nonlinear PDE with an inverse square potential. (Q1419813)

This paper is devoted to the existence of nontrivial solutions for the following problem \[ \begin{cases} -\Delta u-{\mu\over| x|^2} u=| u|^{2^*-2} u+\lambda u\quad &\text{in }\Omega,\\ u(x)= 0\quad &\text{on }\partial\Omega,\end{cases}\tag{1} \] where \(0\in \Omega\subset \mathbb R^N\) \((N\geq 3)\) is a bounded domain with smooth boundary, \(2^*= {2N\over N-2}\) is the so-called critical Sobolev exponent and \(0\leq \mu<\mu_*= ({N-2^2\over 2})\) and \(\lambda> 0\) is a parameter. Based on the linking theorem and energy estimates the author proves existence of nontrivial solutions for (1).
