Abstract

In this paper, we concern with the following Schrödinger–Poisson system:

$$\begin{aligned} {\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u+\phi u = f(x,u)+u^5 ,\quad &{} x\in \Omega ,\\ -\Delta \phi =u^2,\quad &{} x\in \Omega ,\\ u=\phi =0, \quad &{} x \in \partial \Omega , \end{array}\right. } \end{aligned}$$

where \(\Omega \) is a smooth bounded domain in \(\mathbb {R}^{3}\) and \(u^5\) reaches the Sobolev critical exponent since \(2^*=6\) in dimension 3. Under some appropriate assumptions on f, a new result on the existence of nontrivial solutions is obtained via variational methods.
