“…It is worth pointing out that the related semilinear equation with the asymptotically periodic condition has been extensively studied, see [13,17,18,34,37,38] and their references. In [13,34,37,38], they discussed the existence of solutions for problem (3) without the second order derivatives ∆(u 2 )u, when the problem is strongly indefinite, that is, 0 lies in a spectral gap of − + V . We would like to point out that in a recent paper [17] and [18], Liu et al have given reformative conditions which unify the asymptotic processes of V, g at infinity.…”
