Abstract In this work, we study the existence of a positive solution to an elliptic equation involving the fractional Laplacian (−Δ) s in ℝ n , for n ≥ 2, such as (0.1) ( − Δ ) s u + E ( x ) u + V ( x ) u q − 1 = K ( x ) f ( u ) + u 2 s ⋆ − 1 . $$(-\Delta)^{s} u+E(x) u+V(x) u^{q-1}=K(x) f(u)+u^{2_{s}^{\star}-1}.$$ Here, s ∈ (0, 1), q ∈ 2 , 2 s ⋆ $q \in\left[2,2_{s}^{\star}\right)$ with 2 s ⋆ := 2 n n − 2 s $2_{s}^{\star}:=\frac{2 n}{n-2 s}$ being the fractional critical Sobolev exponent, E(x), K(x), V(x) > 0 : ℝ n → ℝ are measurable functions which satisfy joint “vanishing at infinity” conditions in a measure-theoretic sense, and f (u) is a continuous function on ℝ of quasi-critical, super-q-linear growth with f (u) ≥ 0 if u ≥ 0. Besides, we study the existence of multiple positive solutions to an elliptic equation in ℝ n such as (0.2) ( − Δ ) s u + E ( x ) u + V ( x ) u q − 1 = λ K ( x ) u r − 1 , $$(-\Delta)^{s} u+E(x) u+V(x) u^{q-1}=\lambda K(x) u^{r-1},$$ where 2 < r < q < ∞(both possibly (super-)critical), E(x), K(x), V(x) > 0 : ℝ n → ℝ are measurable functions satisfying joint integrability conditions, and λ > 0 is a parameter. To study (0.1)-(0.2), we first describe a family of general fractional Sobolev-Slobodeckij spaces Ms ;q,p (ℝ n ) as well as their associated compact embedding results.

In this paper, we study the decomposition of the Nehari manifold by exploiting the combination of concave and convex nonlinearities. The result is subsequently used, in conjunction with the Ljusternik–Schnirelmann category and variational methods, to prove the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for an indefinite elliptic problem involving a critical Sobolev exponent.
