Elliptic problems with mixed nonlinearities and potentials singular at the origin and at the boundary of the domain

Abstract

We are interested in the following Dirichlet problem $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u + \lambda u - \mu \frac{u}{|x|^2} - \nu \frac{u}{\mathrm{dist}\,(x,\mathbb{R}^N \setminus \Omega)^2} = f(x,u) & \quad \mbox{in } \Omega \\ u = 0 & \quad \mbox{on } \partial \Omega, \end{array} \right. $$ on a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ with $0 \in \Omega$. We assume that the nonlinear part is superlinear on some closed subset $K \subset \Omega$ and asymptotically linear on $\Omega \setminus K$. We find a solution with the energy bounded by a certain min-max level, and infinitely many solutions provided that $f$ is odd in $u$. Moreover we study also the multiplicity of solutions to the associated normalized problem.
