Using the Mountain--Pass Theorem of Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz we prove that -Δp u-μ|x|-pup-1=|x|-su\crits-1+u\crit-1 admits a positive weak solution in \rn of class \dunp∩ C1(\rn∖\0\), whenever μ<μ1, and μ1=[(n-p)/p]p. The technique is based on the existence of extremals of some Hardy--Sobolev type embeddings of independent interest. We also show that if u∈\dunp is a weak solution in \rn of -Δp u-μ|x|-p|u|p-2u=|x|-s|u|\crits-2u+|u|q-2u, then u≡0 when either 1<q<\crit, or q>\crit and u is also of class L^∞_\text\scriptsizeloc(\rn∖\0\).
