“…When A = 1 the differential operator is the usual laplacian, and this kind of problems have been much studied in last years, with different sets of hypotheses on the nonlinearity f and the potentials V, K. Much work has been devoted in particular to problems in which such potentials can be vanishing or divergent at 0 and ∞, because this prevents the use of standard embeddings between Sobolev spaces of radial functions, and new embedding and compactness results must be proved (see for example [1], [2], [3], [4], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [19], [20], [21], and the references therein). The case in which the potential A is not trivial has been studied in [22], [15], [18] for the p-laplacian equation, in [16] and [17] for bounded domains, and in [23] for exterior domains. The typical result obtained in these works says, roughly speaking, that given suitable asymptotic behavior at 0 and ∞ for the potentials, there is a suitable range of exponent q such that, if f behaves like the power t q−1 , then problem (1.1) has a radial solution.…”
