Existence of ground state solutions for a class of Choquard equations with local nonlinear perturbation and variable potential

In 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.

Boundary Value Problem for a Second-Order Difference Equation with Resonance

In this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity of nontrivial solutions of a second-order discrete boundary value problem with resonance and sublinear or superlinear nonlinearity. The main methods are based on the Morse theory and the minimax methods. In addition, some examples are given to illustrate our results.

This paper is devoted to investigating a class of nonhomogeneous Choquard equations with perturbation involving p-Laplacian. Under suitable hypotheses about the perturbation term, the existence of at least two nontrivial solutions for the given problems is obtained using Nehari manifold and minimax methods.

An Elliptic Equation Involving Exponential Critical Growth in ℝ2

We study the following class of nonhomogeneous Schrödinger equations−Δu + V(|x|)u = Q(|x|) f(u) + h(x) in ℝwhere V and Q are unbounded or decaying radial potentials, the nonlinearity f (s) has exponential critical growth and the nonhomogeneous term h belongs to the dual of an appropriate functional space. By combining minimax methods and a version of the Trudinger-Moser inequality, we establish the existence and multiplicity of weak solutions for this class of equations.

Infinitely many periodic solutions of non-autonomous second-order Hamiltonian systems

In this paper, we study the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions for the non-autonomous second-order Hamiltonian systems with symmetry. Based on the minimax methods in critical point theory, in particular, the fountain theorem of Bartsch and the symmetric mountain pass lemma due to Kajikiya, we obtain the existence results for both the superquadratic case and the subquadratic case, which unify and sharply improve some recent results in the literature.
