Here$f,g_{1},g_{2}:\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$and$h:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$are functions satisfying suitable hypotheses.

In this study we establish the existence of a weak solution for a class of nonlocal problem [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is a general nonlocal integro-differential operator of fractional type, λ is a real parameter, Ω is an open bounded subset of ℝn(n > 2s, where s ∈(0, 1) is fixed) with continuous boundary ∂Ω. Here f, g1: Ω → ℝ and h : ℝ → ℝ are functions satisfying suitable hypotheses.

The existence of three weak solutions for the following nonlocal fractional equation(-Δ)su-λu=μf(x,u)inΩ,u=0inℝn∖Ω,is investigated, wheres∈(0,1)is fixed,(-Δ)sis the fractional Laplace operator,λandμare real parameters,Ωis an open bounded subset ofℝn,n>2s, and the functionfsatisfies some regularity and natural growth conditions. The approach is based on a three-critical-point theorem for differential functionals.

In the present paper we give conditions under which there exists a unique weak solution for a nonlocal equation driven by the integrodifferential operator of fractional Laplacian type. We argue for the optimality of some assumptions. Some Lyapunov-type inequalities are given. We also study the continuous dependence of the solution on parameters. In proofs we use monotonicity and variational methods.

Abstract In this paper, we consider the following critical nonlocal problem: \left\{\begin{aligned} &\displaystyle M\bigg{(}\iint_{\mathbb{R}^{2N}}\frac{% \lvert u(x)-u(y)\rvert^{2}}{\lvert x-y\rvert^{N+2s}}\,dx\,dy\biggr{)}(-\Delta)% ^{s}u=\frac{\lambda}{u^{\gamma}}+u^{2^{*}_{s}-1}&&\displaystyle\phantom{}\text% {in }\Omega,\\ \displaystyle u&\displaystyle>0&&\displaystyle\phantom{}\text{in }\Omega,\\ \displaystyle u&\displaystyle=0&&\displaystyle\phantom{}\text{in }\mathbb{R}^{% N}\setminus\Omega,\end{aligned}\right. where Ω is an open bounded subset of {\mathbb{R}^{N}} with continuous boundary, dimension {N>2s} with parameter {s\in(0,1)} , {2^{*}_{s}=2N/(N-2s)} is the fractional critical Sobolev exponent, {\lambda>0} is a real parameter, {\gamma\in(0,1)} and M models a Kirchhoff-type coefficient, while {(-\Delta)^{s}} is the fractional Laplace operator. In particular, we cover the delicate degenerate case, that is, when the Kirchhoff function M is zero at zero. By combining variational methods with an appropriate truncation argument, we provide the existence of two solutions.

In this paper we deal with two non-local operators that are both well known and widely studied in the literature in connection with elliptic problems of fractional type. More precisely, for a fixed s ∈ (0,1) we consider the integral definition of the fractional Laplacian given bywhere c(n, s) is a positive normalizing constant, and another fractional operator obtained via a spectral definition, that is,where ei, λi are the eigenfunctions and the eigenvalues of the Laplace operator −Δ in Ω with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary data, while ai represents the projection of u on the direction ei.The aim of this paper is to compare these two operators, with particular reference to their spectrum, in order to emphasize their differences.

AbstractIn this paper, we study the existence of positive solutions to a semilinear nonlocal elliptic problem with the fractional α-Laplacian on Rn, 0 < α < n. We show that the problem has infinitely many positive solutions in $ {C^\tau}({R^n})\bigcap H_{loc}^{\alpha /2}({R^n}) $. Moreover, each of these solutions tends to some positive constant limit at infinity. We can extend our previous result about sub-elliptic problem to the nonlocal problem on Rn. We also show for α ∊ (0, 2) that in some cases, by the use of Hardy’s inequality, there is a nontrivial non-negative $ H_{loc}^{\alpha /2}({R^n}) $ weak solution to the problem $$ {( - \Delta )^{\alpha /2}}u(x) = K(x){u^p} \quad {\rm{ in}} \ {R^n}, $$ where K(x) = K(|x|) is a non-negative non-increasing continuous radial function in Rn and p > 1.

AbstractIn this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity of solutions for Kirchhoff-type superlinear problems involving non-local integro-differential operators. As a particular case, we consider the following Kirchhoff-type fractional Laplace equation:$$\matrix{ {\left\{ {\matrix{ {M\left( {\int\!\!\!\int\limits_{{\open R}^{2N}} {\displaystyle{{ \vert u(x)-u(y) \vert ^2} \over { \vert x-y \vert ^{N + 2s}}}} {\rm d}x{\rm d}y} \right){(-\Delta )}^su = f(x,u)\quad } \hfill &amp; {{\rm in }\Omega ,} \hfill \cr {u = 0\quad } \hfill &amp; {{\rm in }{\open R}^N{\rm \setminus }\Omega {\mkern 1mu} ,} \hfill \cr } } \right.} \hfill \cr } $$where ( − Δ)sis the fractional Laplace operator,s∈ (0, 1),N&gt; 2s, Ω is an open bounded subset of ℝNwith smooth boundary ∂Ω,$M:{\open R}_0^ + \to {\open R}^ + $is a continuous function satisfying certain assumptions, andf(x,u) is superlinear at infinity. By computing the critical groups at zero and at infinity, we obtain the existence of non-trivial solutions for the above problem via Morse theory. To the best of our knowledge, our results are new in the study of Kirchhoff–type Laplacian problems.

Let Ω be an open bounded subset of Rn and f a continuous function on Ω̄ satisfying f(x) > 0 for all x ∈ Ω̄. We consider the maximization problem for the integral ∫Ωf(x)u(x)dx over all Lipschitz continuous functions u subject to the Dirichlet boundary condition u = 0 on ∂Ω and to the gradient constraint of the form H(Du(x)) ≤ 1, and prove that the supremum is ‘achieved’ by the viscosity solution of Ĥ(Du(x)) = 1 in Ω and u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ĥ denotes the convex envelope of H. This result is applied to an asymptotic problem, as p → ∞, for quasi-minimizers of the integral An asymptotic problem as k → ∞ for inf is also considered, where the infimum is taken all over and the set K is given by {ξ | H(ξ) ≤ 1}.

Let m: [ 0, ∞) → [ 0, ∞) be an increasing continuous function with m(t) = 0 if and only if t = 0, m(t) → ∞ as t → ∞ and Ω C ℝN a bounded domain. In this note we show that for every r > 0 there exists a function ur solving the minimization problemwhere Moreover, the function ur is a weak solution to the corresponding Euler–Lagrange equationfor some λ > 0. We emphasize that no Δ2-condition is needed for M or M; so the associated functionals are not continuously differentiable, in general.
