Existence of Small-Energy Solutions to Nonlocal Schrödinger-Type Equations for Integrodifferential Operators in ℝN
We are concerned with the following elliptic equations: ( − Δ ) p , K s u + V ( x ) | u | p − 2 u = λ f ( x , u ) in R N , where ( − Δ ) p , K s is the nonlocal integrodifferential equation with 0 < s < 1 < p < + ∞ , s p < N the potential function V : R N → ( 0 , ∞ ) is continuous, and f : R N × R → R satisfies a Carathéodory condition. The present paper is devoted to the study of the L ∞ -bound of solutions to the above problem by employing De Giorgi’s iteration method and the localization method. Using this, we provide a sequence of infinitely many small-energy solutions whose L ∞ -norms converge to zero. The main tools were the modified functional method and the dual version of the fountain theorem, which is a generalization of the symmetric mountain-pass theorem.
