On a biharmonic equation with steep potential well and indefinite potential

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: In this paper, we study the following biharmonic equations:% left{aligned&Delta^2u-a_0Delta u+(lambda b(x)+b_0)u=f(u)& ext{ in }�br^N,\% &uinh,endaligned ight.eqno{(mathcal{P}_{lambda})}% where Ngeq3, are two constants, lambda>0 is a parameter, b(x)geq0 is a potential well and is subcritical and superlinear or asymptotically linear at infinity. By the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality, we make some observations on the operator Delta2a0Delta+lambdab(x)+b0 in h. Based on these observations, we give a new variational setting to (mathcalPlambda) for a0<0. With this new variational setting in hands, we establish some new existence results of the nontrivial solutions to (mathcalPlambda) for all with lambda sufficiently large by the variational method. The concentration behavior of the nontrivial solutions as lambdao+infty is also obtained. It is worth to point out that it seems to be the first time that the nontrivial solution of (mathcalPlambda) is obtained in the case of a0<0.
