  • In this paper we study problems with critical and sandwich-type growth represented by \begin{align*} -\operatorname{div}\Big(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u + a(x)|\nabla u|^{q-2}\nabla u\Big)= λw(x)|u|^{s-2}u+θB\left(x,u\right) \quad \text{in } Ω,\quad u= 0 \quad\text{on } \partial Ω, \end{align*} where $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ is a bounded domain with Lipschitz boundary $\partialΩ$, $1<p<s<q<N$, $\frac{q}{p}<1+\frac{1}{N}$, $0\leq a(\cdot)\in C^{0,1}(\overlineΩ)$, $λ$, $θ$ are real parameters, $w$ is a suitable weight and $B\colon \overlineΩ\times \mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ is given by \begin{align*} B(x,t) :=b_0(x)|t|^{p^*-2}t+b(x)|t|^{q^*-2}t, \end{align*} where $r^*:=Nr/(N-r)$ for $r\in\{p,q\}$. Here the right-hand side combines the effect of a critical term given by $B(\cdot,\cdot)$ and a sandwich-type perturbation with exponent $s \in (p,q)$. Under different values of the parameters $λ$ and $θ$, we prove the existence and multiplicity of solutions to the problem above. For this, we mainly exploit different variational methods combined with topological tools, like a new concentration-compactness principle, a suitable truncation argument and the Krasnoselskii's genus theory, by considering very mild assumptions on the data $a(\cdot)$, $b_0(\cdot)$ and $b(\cdot)$.
