This paper is focused on the following Schrödinger–Poisson system
where is weakly differentiable and tends asymptotically to a constant and . By introducing some new tricks, we prove that the above system admits a ground state solution under some mild assumptions on V and f. Our results generalize and improve the existing ones in the literature.
