Abstract We consider ground states of the nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation with potentials ( - Δ ) s ⁢ u + V ⁢ ( x ) ⁢ u = f ⁢ ( x , u ) , s ∈ ( 0 , 1 ) , (-\Delta)^{s}u+V(x)u=f(x,u),\quad s\in(0,1), on the whole space ℝ N {\mathbb{R}^{N}} , where V is a periodic non-negative nontrivial function on ℝ N {\mathbb{R}^{N}} and the nonlinear term f has some proper growth on u. Under uniform bounded assumptions about V, we can show the existence of a ground state. We extend the result of Li, Wang, and Zeng to the fractional case.

AbstractIn this paper, we study a time-independent fractional Schrödinger equation of the form (−Δ)su + V(x)u = g(u) in ℝN, where N ≥, s ∈ (0,1) and (−Δ)s is the fractional Laplacian. By variational methods, we prove the existence of ground state solutions when V is unbounded and the nonlinearity g is subcritical and satisfies the following geometry condition:

We obtain the solution of a unified fractional Schrödinger equation. The solution is derived by the application of the Laplace and Fourier transforms in closed form in terms of the Mittag-Leffler function. The result obtained here is quite general in nature and capable of yielding a very large number of results (new and known) hitherto scattered in the literature. Most of results obtained are in a form suitable for numerical computation.

Abstract We consider the nonlinear fractional problem $$\begin{aligned} (-\Delta )^{s} u + V(x) u = f(x,u)&\quad \hbox {in } \mathbb {R}^N \end{aligned}$$ ( - Δ ) s u + V ( x ) u = f ( x , u ) in R N We show that ground state solutions converge (along a subsequence) in $$L^2_{\mathrm {loc}} (\mathbb {R}^N)$$ L loc 2 ( R N ) , under suitable conditions on f and V, to a ground state solution of the local problem as $$s \rightarrow 1^-$$ s → 1 - .

In this paper, the orbital stability of standing waves for nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation is considered. By constructing the constrained functional extreme-value problem, the existence of standing waves is studied. With the help of the orbital stability theories presented by Grillakis, Shatah and Strauss, the orbital stability of standing waves is determined by the sign of a discriminant. To our knowledge, it is the first time that the abstract orbital stability theories presented by Grillakis, Shatah and Strauss are applied to study the stability of solutions for fractional evolution equation.

Abstract We consider the following nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation: $$ (-\triangle )^{s} u+V(x)u=g(u) \quad \text{in } \mathbb{R} ^{N}, $$ ( − △ ) s u + V ( x ) u = g ( u ) in  R N , where $s\in (0, 1)$ s ∈ ( 0 , 1 ) , $N>2s$ N > 2 s , $V(x)$ V ( x ) is differentiable, and $g\in C ^{1}(\mathbb{R} , \mathbb{R} )$ g ∈ C 1 ( R , R ) . By exploiting the minimization method with a constraint over Pohoz̆aev manifold, we obtain the existence of ground state solutions. With the help of Pohoz̆aev identity we also process the existence of the least energy solutions for the above equation. Our results improve the existing study on this nonlocal problem with Berestycki–Lions type nonlinearity to the one that does not need the oddness assumption.
