Multiple solutions for nonhomogeneous elliptic equations involving critical Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg exponent (Q346955)

The nonhomogeneous problem \[ -\operatorname{div}(|x|^{-2a}\nabla u)-\mu |x|^{-2a-2} u = |x|^{-2_{*}b} |u|^{2_{*}-2} u + \lambda |x|^{-c} u + f(x)\;\;(x\in G),\eqno{(1)} \] \[ \;\;u|_{\partial G}=0, \eqno{(2)} \] is studied. Here \(G\) is a smooth bounded domain in \({\mathbb R}^{n}\) (\(n\geq 3\)) containing 0, \(-\infty< a < (n-2)/2\), \(a\leq b<a+1\), \(c < 2a + 2\), \(2_{*}= 2n/(n -2a-2 + 2b)\), \(\lambda\) and \(\mu\) are two non-negative parameters, and \(f\) is a given measurable function different from 0. Under some additional assumptions on the behavior of \(f\) at 0 and some bounds from above for \(\lambda\) and \(\mu\) it is proven that the problem (1), (2) has at least two nontrivial solutions.
