Abstract We consider the following p-harmonic problem Δ(|Δu|p−2Δu)+m|u|p−2u=f(x,u),x∈RN,u∈W2,p(RN), $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \left\{ \displaystyle\begin{array}{ll} \displaystyle {\it\Delta} (|{\it\Delta} u|^{p-2}{\it\Delta} u)+m|u|^{p-2}u=f(x,u), \ \ x\in {\mathbb R}^N, \\ u \in W^{2,p}({\mathbb R}^N), \end{array} \right. \end{array}$$ where m > 0 is a constant, N > 2p ≥ 4 and limt→∞f(x,t)|t|p−2t=l $\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \lim\limits_{t\rightarrow \infty}\frac{f(x,t)}{|t|^{p-2}t}=l \end{array}$ uniformly in x, which implies that f(x, t) does not satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz type condition. By showing the Pohozaev identity for weak solutions to the limited problem of the above p-harmonic equation and using a variant version of Mountain Pass Theorem, we prove the existence and nonexistence of nontrivial solutions to the above equation. Moreover, if f(x, u) ≡ f(u), the existence of a ground state solution and the nonexistence of nontrivial solutions to the above problem is also proved by using artificial constraint method and the Pohozaev identity.
