On the behavior of the ground state energy under weak perturbation of critical quasilinear operators in $\mathbb{R}^N$

Abstract

We consider a critical quasilinear operator $-\Delta_p u +V|u|^{p-2}u$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$ perturbed by a weakly coupled potential. For $N>p$, we find the leading asymptotic of the lowest eigenvalue of such an operator in the weak coupling limit separately for $N>p^2$ and $N\leq p^2$.
