Via the variational approach, one positive ground state solution of this system is obtained under some certain assumptions on \(V_{1}(x)\), \(V_{2}(x)\) and \(Q(x)\). Moreover, by using Hardy's inequality and one PohozÇŽev identity, a non-existence result of non-trivial solutions is also considered.", keywords = "ground states, Choquard equations, Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality, lower critical exponent", issn = "1232-9274" }
