Abstract:

We study the existence and non-existence of bound states (i.e., solutions in W1, p (RN )) for a class of  quasilinear scalar field equations of the form

-?pu+V(x)|u| p-2u = a(x)|u| q-2u, x ∈ RN , 1 < p < N,

when the potentials V(·) 0 and a(·) decay to zero at infinity.

Key words: p-Laplacian, bound states, decaying potentials, Hardy potential, weighted Sobolev spaces
