Abstract: We study the existence and nonexistence of maximizers for variational problem concerning to the Moser--Trudinger inequality of Adimurthi--Druet type in

W^{1, N} (m a t h b b R^{N})

[ MT(N,�eta, alpha) =sup_{uin W^{1,N}(mathbb R^N), | abla u|_N^N + |u|_N^Nleq 1} int_{mathbb R^N} Phi_N(�eta(1+alpha |u|_N^N)^{frac1{N-1}} |u|^{frac N{N-1}}) dx, ] where

P h i_{N} (t) = e^{t} - s u m_{k = 0}^{N - 2} f r a c t^{k} k!

in the subcritical case. The proof in the critical case is based on the blow-up analysis method. Finally, by using the Moser sequence together the scaling argument, we show that

. Our results settle the questions left open in cite{doO2015,doO2016}.
