Existence and Concentration Solutions for a class of elliptic PDEs involving $p$-biharmonic Operator

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an existence result pertaining to a nontrivial solution to the problem \begin{align*} \Bigg\{\begin{split} & \Delta^2_p u -\Delta_p u + \lambda V(x)|u|^{p-2}u = f(x,u)\,,\,x\in \mathbb{R}^N, & u \in W^{2,p}(\mathbb{R}^N), \end{split} \end{align*} where $\lambda>0$, $p>1, N>2p$ and $V\in C(\mathbb{R}^N, \mathbb{R}^+)$, $f\in C(\mathbb{R}^N \times \mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})$ with certain properties. We also investigate the concentration of solutions to the problem on the set $V^{-1}(0)$ as $\lambda \rightarrow \infty$.
