Abstract

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.
