Ground state solutions for quasilinear Schrödinger equations with critical Berestycki–Lions nonlinearities

Abstract

We consider the quasilinear Schrödinger equation involving a general nonlinearity at critical growth. By using Jeanjean’s monotonicity trick and the Pohozaev identity we get the existence results that generalize an earlier work [H. Liu and L. Zhao, Existence results for quasilinear Schrödinger equations with a general nonlinearity, Commun. Pure Appl. Anal., 19(6):3429–3444, 2020] about the subcritical case to the critical case.
