In this paper, we consider the following elliptic problem
$ -\texttt{div}(|\nabla u|^{N-2}\nabla u)+V(x)|u|^{N-2}u = \frac{f(x, u)}{|x|^{\eta}}\; \; \operatorname{in}\; \; \mathbb{R}^{N} $
and its perturbation problem, where
$ N\geq 2 $
,
$ 0<\eta<N $
,
$ V(x) \geq V_{0 }> 0 $
 and
$ f(x, t) $
 has a critical exponential growth behavior. By using the variational technique and the indirection method, the existence of a positive ground state solution is proved. For the perturbation problem, the existence of two distinct nontrivial weak solutions is proved.
Keywords: The ground state solution, singular elliptic equations, critical exponential growth, singular Trudinger–Moser inequality.
