Abstract

We consider the existence and nonexistence of positive solution for the following Br\'ezis-Nirenberg problem with logarithmic perturbation: \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\Delta u={\left|u\right|}^{{2}^{\ast }-2}u+\lambda u+\mu u\log {u}^{2} &x\in \Omega, \quad \;\:\, u=0& x\in \partial \Omega, \end{cases} \end{equation*} where Ω\Omega \subset RN\R^N is a bounded smooth domain, λ,μR\lambda, \mu \in \R, N3N\ge3 and 2:=2NN2{2}^{\ast }:=\frac{2N}{N-2} is the critical Sobolev exponent for the embedding H01(Ω)L2(Ω)H^1_{0}(\Omega)\hookrightarrow L^{2^\ast}(\Omega). The uncertainty of the sign of slogs2s\log s^2 in (0,+)(0, +\infty) has some interest in itself. We will show the existence of positive ground state solution which is of mountain pass type provided λR,μ>0\lambda\in \R, \mu>0 and N4N\geq 4. While the case of μ<0\mu<0 is thornier. However, for N=3,4N=3,4 λ(,λ1(Ω))\lambda\in (-\infty, \lambda_1(\Omega)), we can also establish the existence of positive solution under some further suitable assumptions. And a nonexistence result is also obtained for μ<0\mu<0 and (N2)μ2+(N2)μ2log((N2)μ2)+λλ1(Ω)0-\frac{(N-2)\mu}{2}+\frac{(N-2)\mu}{2}\log(-\frac{(N-2)\mu}{2})+\lambda-\lambda_1(\Omega)\geq 0 if N3N\geq 3. Comparing with the results in Br\'ezis, H. and Nirenberg, L. (Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 1983), some new interesting phenomenon occurs when the parameter μ\mu on logarithmic perturbation is not zero.
