Fractional NLS equations with magnetic field, critical frequency and critical growth

The paper is devoted to the study of a singularly perturbed fractional Schrödinger equations involving critical frequency and critical growth in the presence of a magnetic field. By using variational methods, we obtain the existence of mountain pass solutions $u_{\varepsilon}$ which tend to the trivial solution as $\varepsilon\rightarrow0$. Moreover, we get infinitely many solutions and sign-changing solutions for the problem in absence of magnetic effects under some extra assumptions.

Nonlocal Schrödinger-Kirchhoff equations with external magnetic field

The paper deals with existence and multiplicity of solutions of the fractional Schrödinger--Kirchhoff equation involving an external magnetic potential. As a consequence, the results can be applied to the special case \begin{equation*} (a+b[u]_{s,A}^{2θ-2})(-Δ)_A^su+V(x)u=f(x,|u|)u\,\, \quad \text{in $\mathbb{R}^N$}, \end{equation*} where $s\in (0,1)$, $N>2s$, $a\in \mathbb{R}^+_0$, $b\in \mathbb{R}^+_0$, $θ\in[1,N/(N-2s))$, $A:\mathbb{R}^N\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^N$ is a magnetic potential, $V:\mathbb{R}^N\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^+$ is an electric potential, $(-Δ)_A^s$ is the fractional magnetic operator. In the super- and sub-linear cases, the existence of least energy solutions for the above problem is obtained by the mountain pass theorem, combined with the Nehari method, and by the direct methods respectively. In the superlinear-sublinear case, the existence of infinitely many solutions is investigated by the symmetric mountain pass theorem.

Uniqueness of limit flow for a class of quasi-linear parabolic equations

We investigate the issue of uniqueness of the limit flow for a relevant class of quasi-linear parabolic equations defined on the whole space. More precisely, we shall investigate conditions which guarantee that the global solutions decay at infinity uniformly in time and their entire trajectory approaches a single steady state as time goes to infinity. Finally, we obtain a characterization of solutions which blow-up, vanish or converge to a stationary state for initial data of the form $λφ_0$ while $λ>0$ crosses a bifurcation value $λ_0$.

The Nehari manifold for fractional systems involving critical nonlinearities

We study the combined effect of concave and convex nonlinearities on the number of positive solutions for a fractional system involving critical Sobolev exponents. With the help of the Nehari manifold, we prove that the system admits at least two positive solutions when the pair of parameters $(λ,μ)$ belongs to a suitable subset of $\R^2$.

Schrödinger-Poisson systems with a general critical nonlinearity

We consider a Schrödinger-Poisson system involving a general nonlinearity at critical growth and we prove the existence of positive solutions. The Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition is not required. We also study the asymptotics of solutions with respect to a parameter.

Nonlocal problems at nearly critical growth

We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the nonlocal nonlinear equation $(-Δ_p)^s u=|u|^{q-2}u$ in a bounded domain $Ω\subset{\mathbb R}^N$ as $q$ approaches the critical Sobolev exponent $p^*=Np/(N-ps)$. We prove that ground state solutions concentrate at a single point $\bar x\in \overlineΩ$ and analyze the asymptotic behavior for sequences of solutions at higher energy levels. In the semi-linear case $p=2,$ we prove that for smooth domains the concentration point $\bar x$ cannot lie on the boundary, and identify its location in the case of annular domains.

Global Hölder regularity for the fractional $p$-Laplacian

By virtue of barrier arguments we prove $C^α$-regularity up to the boundary for the weak solutions of a non-local nonlinear problem driven by the fractional $p$-Laplacian operator. The equation is boundedly inhomogeneous and the boundary conditions are of Dirichlet type. We employ different methods according to the singular ($p<2$) of degenerate ($p>2$) case.

Eigenvalues for double phase variational integrals

We study an eigenvalue problem in the framework of double phase variational integrals and we introduce a sequence of nonlinear eigenvalues by a minimax procedure. We establish a continuity result for the nonlinear eigenvalues with respect to the variations of the phases. Furthermore, we investigate the growth rate of this sequence and get a Weyl-type law consistent with the classical law for the $p$-Laplacian operator when the two phases agree.

The Brezis-Nirenberg problem for nonlocal systems

By means of variational methods we investigate existence, non-existence as well as regularity of weak solutions for a system of nonlocal equations involving the fractional laplacian operator and with nonlinearity reaching the critical growth and interacting, in a suitable sense, with the spectrum of the operator.

The Brezis-Nirenberg problem for the fractional $p$-Laplacian

We obtain nontrivial solutions to the Brezis-Nirenberg problem for the fractional $p$-Laplacian operator, extending some results in the literature for the fractional Laplacian. The quasilinear case presents two serious new difficulties. First an explicit formula for a minimizer in the fractional Sobolev inequality is not available when $p \ne 2$. We get around this difficulty by working with certain asymptotic estimates for minimizers recently obtained by Brasco, Mosconi and Squassina. The second difficulty is the lack of a direct sum decomposition suitable for applying the classical linking theorem. We use an abstract linking theorem based on the cohomological index proved by Perera and Yang to overcome this difficulty.

Ground states of nonlocal scalar field equations with Trudinger-Moser critical nonlinearity

We investigate the existence of ground state solutions for a class of nonlinear scalar field equations defined on whole real line, involving a fractional Laplacian and nonlinearities with Trudinger-Moser critical growth. We handle the lack of compactness of the associated energy functional due to the unboundedness of the domain and the presence of a limiting case embedding.

Critical fractional $p$-Laplacian problems with possibly vanishing potentials

We obtain nontrivial solutions of a critical fractional $p$-Laplacian equation in the whole space and with possibly vanishing potentials. In addition to the usual difficulty of the lack of compactness associated with problems involving critical Sobolev exponents, the problem is further complicated by the absence of a direct sum decomposition suitable for applying classical linking arguments. We overcome this difficulty using a generalized linking construction based on the ${\mathbb Z}_2$-cohomological index.
