Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to consider the minimization problem of the following nonlocal interaction functional �egin{equation*} E[ ho]=frac{1}{2}int_{mathbb{R}^N} int_{mathbb{R}^N}K(x-y) ho(x) ho(y)dxdy+int_{mathbb{R}^N}F(x) ho(x)dx. end{equation*} The kernel $K(x)=frac1q|x{|}^q-frac1p|x{|}^p$ is an endogenous potential, where $q>p>-N$. The exogenous potential $F$ is a nonnegative continuous function and satisfies $F(x)o+infty$ as $|x|o+infty$. The existence of minimizers are established based on the concentration compactness principle. Especially, for $$ and $K(x)=frac12|x{|}^2-frac12-N|x{|}^{2-N}$($N>2$), the global minimizer is given explicitly by the method of calculus of variation.
