Here, the Hardy potential is defined on the first stratum of a stratified Lie group \(\mathbb{G}\). Specifically, we have \(|x^{\prime}|=\sqrt{x_{1}^{2}+\ldots+x_{N}^{2}},\) \(x^{\prime}=(x_{1},\ldots, x_{N}) \in \mathbb{R}^{N}\), where \(N\) is the dimension of the first stratum of the stratified Lie group \(\mathbb{G}\). Under the assumptions \(1\lt r+1\lt 2\lt q+1\lt 2^*:=\frac{2Q}{Q-2}\), we prove the existence of at least two positive solutions provided that \(\lambda\) is sufficiently small.", keywords = "subelliptic problem, Hardy potential, Palais-Smale condition, concentration-compactness principle", issn = "1232-9274" }
