We study the existence of positive solutions for the non-autonomous Schrödinger-Poisson system:
$\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}} { - \Delta u + u + \lambda K\left( x \right)\phi u = a\left( x \right){{\left| u \right|}^{p - 2}}u}&{{\text{in }}{\mathbb{R}^3},} \\ { - \Delta \phi = K\left( x \right){u^2}}&{{\text{in }}{\mathbb{R}^3},} \end{array}} \right.$
where
$\lambda >0$
,
$2 < p \le 4$
 and both
$K\left( x\right) $
 and
$a\left( x\right) $
 are nonnegative functions in
$\mathbb{R}^{3}$
, which satisfy the given conditions, but not require any symmetry property. Assuming that
$% \lim_{\left\vert x\right\vert \rightarrow \infty }K\left( x\right) = K_{\infty }\geq 0$
 and
$\lim_{\left\vert x\right\vert \rightarrow \infty }a\left( x\right) = a_{\infty }>0$
, we explore the existence of positive solutions, depending on the parameters
$\lambda$
 and
$p$
. More importantly, we establish the existence of ground state solutions in the case of
$3.18 \approx \frac{{1 + \sqrt {73} }}{3} < P \le 4$
.
Keywords: Positive solution, Schrödinger-Poisson system, variational method, ground state, fibering maps, Sobolev embedding theorem, concentration-compactness principle.
