Existence of solutions to perturbed critical biharmonic equations with Hardy potential

Qi Li, Yuzhu Han, Jian Wang

Abstract:
This article studies a perturbed critical biharmonic equation with Hardy potential. The main challenge arises from the combined effects of critical Sobolev nonlinearity and singular Hardy potential, which induce a double loss of compactness in the variational framework. Through delicate analysis of fibering maps and the mountain pass lemma, the existence of at least one nontrivial mountain pass solution is obtained under appropriate growth conditions on the nonlinearity.
