Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the existence of nontrivial solution for the following class of Choquard equation

where \(N\in {\mathbb {N}},~N\ge 3,~\alpha \in (0,N),~I_\alpha \) is a Riesz potential, \(\lambda >0\) is a parameter, \(p=\frac{N+\alpha }{N-2}\) is the upper Hardy–Littlewood–Sobolev critical exponent and \(q\in (2,\frac{2N}{N-2}).\) We prove that there exists \(\lambda _0>0\) such that for \(\lambda \ge \lambda _0,\) problem (1) possesses one positive radial solution.
