Abstract

In this article, we study the existence of multiple solutions for the singular semilinear elliptic equation involving critical Sobolev-Hardy exponents 
 -?u-u u/|x|2=α |u|2*(s)-2u/|x|βa(x)|u|r-2 u,   x ∈ RN.
By means of the concentration-compactness principle and minimax  methods, we obtain infinitely many solutions which tend to zero for suitable positive parameters α, β.
