Abstract: Given Ngeq3, 1<p<N, two measurable functions Vleft(right)geq0, Kleft(right)>0 and a continuous function A(r)>0 (r>0), we study the quasilinear elliptic equation [ -mathrm{div}left(A(|x| )|

abla u|^{p-2}

abla u ight) u+Vleft( left| x ight| ight) |u|^{p-2}u= K(|x|) f(u) quad ext{in }mathbb{R}^{N}. ] We find existence of nonegative solutions by the application of variational methods, for which we have to study the compactness of the embedding of a suitable function space X into the sum of Lebesgue spaces LKq1+LKq2, and thus into LKq (=LKq+LKq) as a particular case. Our results do not require any compatibility between how the potentials A, V and K behave at the origin and at infinity, and essentially rely on power type estimates of the relative growth of V and K, not of the potentials separately. The nonlinearity f has a double-power behavior, whose standard example is f(t)=mintq1−1,tq2−1, recovering the usual case of a single-power behavior when q1=q2.
