Quasilinear Schrödinger equations with concave and convex nonlinearities

Abstract: In this paper, we consider the following quasilinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation \begin{align*} -\Delta u-u\Delta(u^{2})=k(x)\left\vert u\right\vert ^{q-2}u-h(x)\left\vert u\right\vert ^{s-2}u\text{, }u\in D^{1,2}(\mathbb{R}^{N})\text{,} \end{align*} where $1<q\<2<s<+\infty$. Unlike most results in the literature, the exponent $s$ here is allowed to be supercritical $s\>2\cdot2^{\ast}$. By taking advantage of geometric properties of a nonlinear transformation $f$ and a variant of Clark's theorem, we get a sequence of solutions with negative energy in a space smaller than $D^{1,2}(\mathbb{R}^{N})$. Nonnegative solution at negative energy level is also obtained.
