Abstract In this paper, we study the singularly perturbed fractional Choquard equation $$\begin{equation*}\varepsilon^{2s}(-{\it\Delta})^su+V(x)u=\varepsilon^{\mu-3}(\int\limits_{\mathbb{R}^3}\frac{|u(y)|^{2^*_{\mu,s}}+F(u(y))}{|x-y|^\mu}dy)(|u|^{2^*_{\mu,s}-2}u+\frac{1}{2^*_{\mu,s}}f(u)) \, \text{in}\, \mathbb{R}^3, \end{equation*}$$ where ε > 0 is a small parameter, (−△)s denotes the fractional Laplacian of order s ∈ (0, 1), 0 < μ < 3, $2_{\mu ,s}^{\star }=\frac{6-\mu }{3-2s}$is the critical exponent in the sense of Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality and fractional Laplace operator. F is the primitive of f which is a continuous subcritical term. Under a local condition imposed on the potential V, we investigate the relation between the number of positive solutions and the topology of the set where the potential attains its minimum values. In the proofs we apply variational methods, penalization techniques and Ljusternik-Schnirelmann theory.

AbstractIn this paper, we focus on the existence of solutions for the Choquard equation $$\begin{aligned} \textstyle\begin{cases} {-}\Delta {u}+V(x)u=(I_{\alpha }* \vert u \vert ^{\frac{\alpha }{N}+1}) \vert u \vert ^{ \frac{\alpha }{N}-1}u+\lambda \vert u \vert ^{p-2}u,\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^{N}; \\ u\in H^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{N}), \end{cases}\displaystyle \end{aligned}$$ { − Δ u + V ( x ) u = ( I α ∗ | u | α N + 1 ) | u | α N − 1 u + λ | u | p − 2 u , x ∈ R N ; u ∈ H 1 ( R N ) , where $\lambda >0$ λ > 0 is a parameter, $\alpha \in (0,N)$ α ∈ ( 0 , N ) , $N\ge 3$ N ≥ 3 , $I_{\alpha }: \mathbb{R}^{N}\to \mathbb{R}$ I α : R N → R is the Riesz potential. As usual, $\alpha /N+1$ α / N + 1 is the lower critical exponent in the Hardy–Littlewood–Sobolev inequality. Under some weak assumptions, by using minimax methods and Pohožaev identity, we prove that this problem admits a ground state solution if $\lambda >\lambda _{*}$ λ > λ ∗ for some given number $\lambda _{*}$ λ ∗ in three cases: (i) $2< p<\frac{4}{N}+2$ 2 < p < 4 N + 2 , (ii) $p=\frac{4}{N}+2$ p = 4 N + 2 , and (iii) $\frac{4}{N}+2< p<2^{*}$ 4 N + 2 < p < 2 ∗ . Our result improves the previous related ones in the literature.
