Abstract:

In this paper, we investigate, via variational methods, the existence of positive solution to a class of degenerate partial differential equations on the Heisenberg group involving critical Sobolev growth and logarithmic nonlinearity. In contrast to the classical perturbation term $\lambda u$ appearing in the [Brézis H, Nirenberg L. Comm Pure Appl Math, 1983, 36(4): 437-477], the logarithmic nonlinearity $\lambda u \log u^2$ leads to a weaker constraint on the parameter, yielding an improved existence result in the critical case.

Key words: Heisenberg group, critical Sobolev exponent, logarithmic nonlinearity, variational methods
