In this paper, we study the following fourth order elliptic problem with a negative nonlinearity :
$\begin{align}\left\{\begin{aligned} Δ^2 u&=-\frac{15}{16}(1+ \varepsilon Q)u^{-7} &&\text{ in } \mathbb R^3\\ u &>0 &&\text{ in } \mathbb R^3,\\ u(x) &\sim |x| \text{ as }{|x|\to ∞}. & \end{aligned} \right.\end{align}$
Here
$Q$
is a
$C^{1}$
bounded function on
$\mathbb{R}^3$
and
$\varepsilon >0$
is a small parameter. We prove the existence, uniqueness of positive solutions for the above perturbed fourth order problem.
Keywords: Perturbed problem, negative exponent, uniqueness, Lypaunov Schmidts method.
