Existence of Positive Solutions for a class of Quasilinear Schr\"{o}dinger Equations of Choquard type

Abstract

In this paper, we study the following quasilinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation of Choquard type $$ -\triangle u+V(x)u-\triangle (u^{2})u=(I_\alpha *|u|^p)|u|^{p-2}u, \ \ x \in \mathbb{R}^{N}, $$ where $N\geq 3$,\ $0<\alpha<N$, $\frac{2(N+\alpha)}{N}\leq p<\frac{2(N+\alpha)}{N-2}$ and $I_\alpha$ is a Riesz potential. Under appropriate assumptions on $V(x)$, we establish the existence of positive solutions.
