文摘

Consider the following eigenvalue problem of p-Laplacian equation where d63b7a83231f7d78b8736cb0b" title="Click to view the MathML source">a≥0$a\ge 0$, p∈(1,n)$p\in (1,n)$ and μ∈R$\mu \in \mathbb{R}$. V(x)$V\left(x\right)$ is a trapping type potential, e.g., inf_x∈RⁿV(x)<lim_|x|→+∞V(x)${inf}_{x\in {\mathbb{R}}^n}V\left(x\right)<{lim}_{\left|x\right|\to +\infty }V\left(x\right)$. By using constrained variational methods, we proved that there is a^∗>0$a^{\ast }>0$, which can be given explicitly, such that problem (P) has a ground state u$u$ with d63af5e7f9665f497235f24a584" title="Click to view the MathML source">|u|_L^p=1${\left|u\right|}_{L^p}=1$ for some μ∈R$\mu \in \mathbb{R}$ and all a∈[0,a^∗)$a\in [0,a^{\ast })$, but (P) has no this kind of ground state if a≥a^∗$a\ge a^{\ast }$. Furthermore, by establishing some delicate energy estimates we show that the global maximum point of the ground state of problem (P) approaches one of the global minima of V(x)$V\left(x\right)$ and blows up if a↗a^∗$a\nearrow a^{\ast }$. The optimal rate of blowup is obtained for V(x)$V\left(x\right)$ being a polynomial type potential.
