Abstract
We study the quasilinear Schrödinger equation where V(x) tends to zero as |x|\rightarrow \infty and g(u) satisfies the general hypotheses introduced by Berestycki and Lions. We employ the mountain pass theorem to obtain the existence of a positive ground state solution. Moreover, we prove a nonexistence result by using the Pohozaev manifold.
