Abstract

We study the existence and non-existence of nontrivial weak solution of Δ2uμux4=uqβ2uxβ+uq2uin RN, {\Delta^2u-\mu\frac{u}{|x|^{4}} = \frac{|u|^{q_{\beta}-2}u}{|x|^{\beta}}+|u|^{q-2}u\quad\textrm{in ${\mathbb R}^N$,}} where N5N\geq 5, qβ=2(Nβ)N4q_{\beta}=\frac{2(N-\beta)}{N-4}, 0<β<40<\beta<4, 1<q21<q\leq 2^{**} and μ<μ1:=(N(N4)4)2\mu<\mu_1:=\big(\frac{N(N-4)}{4}\big)^2. Using Pohozaev type of identity, we prove the non-existence result when 1<q<21<q< 2^{**}. On the other hand when the equation has multiple critical nonlinearities i.e. q=2q=2^{**} and (N2)2μ<μ1-(N-2)^2\leq\mu<\mu_1, we establish the existence of nontrivial solution using the Mountain-Pass theorem by Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz and the variational methods.
