Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the existence and concentration of solutions to a $(p,N)$-Laplace equation in $\mathbb{R}^N$ involving a discontinuous nonlinearity and critical exponential growth. To establish the existence of solutions, we employ a penalization technique in the sense of Del Pino and Felmer adapted to a locally Lipschitz functional. Furthermore, by combining variational methods with Moser-type iteration techniques, we obtain the concentration behavior of the solutions. Our results contribute to the study of nonlinear elliptic problems with irregular nonlinearities and critical growth phenomena.
