Abstract: In this paper, we study the following Schrödinger–Poisson system −Δu+u+λϕu=f(u)+u3,x∈R4,−Δϕ=u2,x∈R4, where λ>0 is a parameter, f∈C(R) and the nonlinear growth of u3 reaches the Sobolev critical exponent since 2∗=4 in dimension 4. Under some suitable assumptions on f, we establish the existence of a positive radial and non-radial ground state solutions for the above system by using variational methods. We also discuss the asymptotic behavior of solutions with respect to the parameter λ.

Keywords: Schrödinger–Poisson system, variational method, critical exponent, ground state solution
