Popis: Given $N\geq 3$, $1 0$ and a continuous function $A(r) >0$ ($r>0$), we study the quasilinear elliptic equation \[ -\mathrm{div}\left(A(|x| )|\nabla u|^{p-2} \nabla u\right) u+V\left( \left| x\right| \right) |u|^{p-2}u= K(|x|) f(u) \quad \text{in }\mathbb{R}^{N}. \] We find existence of nonegative solutions by the application of variational methods, for which we have to study the compactness of the embedding of a suitable function space $X$ into the sum of Lebesgue spaces $L_{K}^{q_{1}}+L_{K}^{q_{2}}$, and thus into $L_{K}^{q}$ ($=L_{K}^{q}+L_{K}^{q}$) as a particular case. Our results do not require any compatibility between how the potentials $A$, $V$ and $K$ behave at the origin and at infinity, and essentially rely on power type estimates of the relative growth of $V$ and $K$, not of the potentials separately. The nonlinearity $f$ has a double-power behavior, whose standard example is $f(t) = \min \{ t^{q_1 -1}, t^{q_2 -1} \}$, recovering the usual case of a single-power behavior when $q_1 = q_2$.
