Abstract
We consider quasilinear elliptic problems of the form

)
∇

+
V
(
x
)
ϕ
(
∣
u
∣
)
u
=
f
(
u
)
,
u
∈
W
1
,
Φ
(
R
N
)
,
-{\rm{div}}\hspace{0.33em}(\phi \left(| \nabla u| )\nabla u)+V\left(x)\phi \left(| u| )u=f\left(u),\hspace{1.0em}u\in {W}^{1,\Phi }\left({{\mathbb{R}}}^{N}),
where
ϕ
\phi
and
f
f
satisfy suitable conditions. The positive potential
V
∈
C
(
R
N
)
V\in C\left({{\mathbb{R}}}^{N})
exhibits a finite or infinite potential well in the sense that
V
(
x
)
V\left(x)
tends to its supremum
V

{V}_{\infty }\le +\infty
as

| x| \to \infty
. Nontrivial solutions are obtained by variational methods. When
V

=
+

{V}_{\infty }=+\infty
, a compact embedding from a suitable subspace of
W

,
Φ

{W}^{1,\Phi }\left({{\mathbb{R}}}^{N})
into

{L}^{\Phi }\left({{\mathbb{R}}}^{N})
is established, which enables us to get infinitely many solutions for the case that
f

is odd. For the case that

V\left(x)=\lambda a\left(x)+1
exhibits a steep potential well controlled by a positive parameter
