Multiplicity of solutions with prescribed mass for a quasilinear critical Choquard equation driven by a local-nonlocal operator

Abstract

In this paper we study the normalized solutions of the following critical growth Choquard equation with mixed local and non-local operators: \begin{equation*} \begin{array}{rcl} -\Delta_p u +(-\Delta_p)^s u & = & \lambda |u|^{p-2}u +\mu |u|^{q-2}u +(I_{\alpha}*|u|^{p^*_{\alpha}})|u|^{p^*_{\alpha}-2}u \text{ in } \mathbb{R}^N; \left\| u \right\|_p & = & \tau. \end{array} \end{equation*} Here, $N\geq 3$, $2 \le p 0$, $I_{\alpha}$ is the Riesz potential of order $\alpha\in (\max\{0,N-2p\}, N)$, $p^*_{\alpha}=\frac{p}{2}\left(\frac{N+\alpha}{N-p}\right)$ is the critical exponent corresponding to the Hardy Littlewood Sobolev inequality, $(-\Delta_p)^s$ is the non-local fractional p-Laplacian operator with $s\in (0,1)$, $\mu>0$ is a parameter and $\lambda$ appears as a Lagrange multiplier. We show the existence of at least two distinct solutions in the presence of a mass subcritical perturbation, $\mu |u|^{q-2}u$ with $p<q<p+\frac{sp^2}{N}$ under some conditions on $p,N$ and $s$.
