Quasilinear elliptic problems under asymptotically linear conditions at infinity and at the origin (Q2355389)

In this paper, the authors study the existence of positive and negative solutions to the following elliptic equation: \[ -\Delta u + V(x)u - \Delta(u^2)u = g(x,u), \quad x \in \mathbb{R}^N, \] where \(V\) is a positive potential and the nonlinearity \(g(x,t) \sim t\) near the origin, and \(g(x,t) \sim t^3\) at infinity. The proofs rely on the Mountain pass Theorem and an appropriate change of variables.
