Summary

Introduction

When N = 3, α = 2 and p = 2, the existence of a radial positive solution is proved in [7, 9, 11] by variational methods and in [1, 12, 18] by ODE approaches. In [13], Moroz and Van Schaftingen proved the existence of a ground state solution to in the range of p. We are interested in limit behaviors of ground state to (1.1) as either α → 0 or α → N These shall play essential roles to prove the uniqueness and nondegeneracy of a positive radial ground state to (1.1). It is well known that the Euler–Lagrange equation (equation (1.3) below) of J0 admits a unique positive radial ground state solution. Be a family of positive radial ground states to for α close to and let u0 be a unique positive radial ground state of the equation. It is easy to see that for p ∈ (2, N2−N2 ) the limit functional JN is C1 on H1(RN ) and its Euler–Lagrange equation is
