Abstract

We study the existence of positive solutions for a class of systems which strongly couple a quasilinear Schrödinger equation driven by a weighted N $N$ -Laplace operator and without the mass term, and a higher-order fractional Poisson equation. Since the system is set in R N $\mathbb {R}^N$ , the limiting case for the Sobolev embedding, we consider nonlinearities with exponential growth. Existence is proved relying on the study of a corresponding Choquard equation in which the Riesz kernel is a logarithm, hence sign-changing and unbounded from above and below. This is in turn solved by means of a variational approximating procedure for an auxiliary Choquard equation, where the logarithm is uniformly approximated by polynomial kernels. Our results are new even in the planar case N = 2 $N=2$ .
