In this paper, we prove the existence of nontrivial solutions to the following Schrödinger equation with critical Sobolev exponent:

$$\begin{eqnarray}\left\{\begin{array}{@{}l@{}}-{\rm\Delta}u+V(x)u=K(x)|u|^{2^{\ast }-2}u+f(x,u),\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^{N},\\ u\in H^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{N})\end{array}\right.\end{eqnarray}$$
under assumptions that (i) $V(x_{0})<0$ for some $x_{0}\in \mathbb{R}^{N}$ and (ii) there exists $b>0$ such that the set ${\mathcal{V}}_{b}:=\{x\in \mathbb{R}^{N}:V(x)<b\}$ has finite measure, in addition to some common assumptions on $K$ and $f$, where $N\geq 3$, $2^{\ast }=2N/(N-2)$.
