Existence of solutions for a problem of resonance using variational method (Q691366)

A second order elliptic operator in the whole \(\mathbb{R}^N\) with \(N \geq 3\) is studied, related with a resonance problem, by extending some previous results in a bounded domain. The main tool is to introduce a functional, verifying the Palais-Smale condition, whose critical points are the weak solutions of the initial problem. An interesting compact embedding of \(H^1(\mathbb{R}^N)\) in \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^N, h dx)\) is given, where \(h\) is a specific weight.
