Sharp Adams inequality for Critical Biharmonic Equations with Hardy--Hénon Weights in $\mathbb{R}^4$
Abstract
We study a class of weighted fourth-order elliptic problems in \(\mathbb{R}^4\) driven by the biharmonic operator and involving Hardy--Hénon type potentials. The nonlinear term has critical exponential growth in the sense of an Adams-type inequality. The weights \(|x|^a\) and \(|x|^b\) allow us to incorporate singular, vanishing, and unbounded effects in a unified variational framework. We introduce a suitable weighted function space, establish Sobolev-type embeddings, and prove an Adams-type inequality adapted to this setting. Under appropriate structural assumptions on the nonlinearity, we prove the existence of nontrivial weak solutions. We also obtain regularity properties and derive a Pohozaev identity, which leads to a nonexistence result.
