AbstractLet$\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{N} $, N ≽ 2, be a smooth bounded domain. For s ∈ (1/2, 1), we consider a problem of the form $$\left\{\begin{array}{@{}ll} (-\Delta)^s u = \mu(x)\, \mathbb{D}_s^{2}(u) + \lambda f(x), & {\rm in}\,\Omega, \\ u= 0, & {\rm in}\,\mathbb{R}^{N} \setminus \Omega,\end{array}\right.$$ where λ > 0 is a real parameter, f belongs to a suitable Lebesgue space, $\mu \in L^{\infty}$ and $\mathbb {D}_s^2$ is a nonlocal ‘gradient square’ term given by $$\mathbb{D}_s^2 (u) = \frac{a_{N,s}}{2} \int_{\mathbb{R}^{N}} \frac{|u(x)-u(y)|^2}{|x-y|^{N+2s}}\,{\rm d}y.$$ Depending on the real parameter λ > 0, we derive existence and non-existence results. The proof of our existence result relies on sharp Calderón–Zygmund type regularity results for the fractional Poisson equation with low integrability data. We also obtain existence results for related problems involving different nonlocal diffusion terms.

We consider the fractional Laplacian with positive Dirichlet data { (-?)?/2 u = ?up in ?, u > 0 in ?, u = ? in Rn\?, where p > 1,0 < ? < min{2,n}, ? ? Rn is a smooth bounded domain, ? is a nonnegative function, positive somewhere and satisfying some other conditions. We prove that there exists ?* > 0 such that for any 0 < ? < ?*, the problem admits at least one positive classical solution; for ? > ?*, the problem admits no classical solution. Moreover, for 1 < p ? n+?/n-?, there exists 0 < ?? ? ?* such that for any 0 < ? < ??, the problem admits a second positive classical solution. From the results obtained, we can see that the existence results of the fractional Laplacian with positive Dirichlet data are quite different from the fractional Laplacian with zero Dirichlet data.

Fractional Yamabe-type equations of the form [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a bounded domain of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] is a given function on [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], is the fractional Laplacian are considered. Bahri’s estimates in the fractional setting will be proved and used to establish a global existence result through an index-counting formula.

AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the existence of multiple solutions for the following two fractional problems:\left\{\begin{aligned} \displaystyle(-\Delta_{\Omega})^{s}u-\lambda u&% \displaystyle=f(x,u)&&\displaystyle\text{in }\Omega,\\ \displaystyle u&\displaystyle=0&&\displaystyle\text{in }\partial\Omega\end{% aligned}\right.\qquad\text{and}\qquad\left\{\begin{aligned} \displaystyle(-% \Delta_{\mathbb{R}^{N}})^{s}u-\lambda u&\displaystyle=f(x,u)&&\displaystyle% \text{in }\Omega,\\ \displaystyle u&\displaystyle=0&&\displaystyle\text{in }\mathbb{R}^{N}% \setminus\Omega,\end{aligned}\right.where{s\in(0,1)},{N>2s}, Ω is a smooth bounded domain of{\mathbb{R}^{N}}, and{f:\bar{\Omega}\times\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}}is a superlinear continuous function which does not satisfy the well-known Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition. Here{(-\Delta_{\Omega})^{s}}is the spectral Laplacian and{(-\Delta_{\mathbb{R}^{N}})^{s}}is the fractional Laplacian in{\mathbb{R}^{N}}. By applying variational theorems of mixed type due to Marino and Saccon and the Linking Theorem, we prove the existence of multiple solutions for the above problems.

AbstractIn this paper, we show that the semi-linear elliptic systems of the form (0.1) possess at least one non-trivial solution pair (u, v) ∈ H01(Ω) × H01(Ω), where Ω is a smooth bounded domain in ℝN, λ and μ are non-negative numbers, f(x, t) and g(x, t) are continuous functions on Ω × ℝ and asymptotically linear at infinity.

AbstractIn this paper, we study the multiplicity of solutions for the following problem: $$\begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\Delta u-\Delta(|u|^{\alpha})|u|^{\alpha-2}u=g(x,u)+\theta h(x,u), \ \ x\in \Omega,\\ u=0, \ \ x\in \partial\Omega, \end{cases} \end{equation*}$$ where α ≥ 2, Ω is a smooth bounded domain in ${\mathbb{R}}$N, θ is a parameter and g, h ∈ C($\bar{\Omega}$ × ${\mathbb{R}}$). Under the assumptions that g(x, u) is odd and locally superlinear at infinity in u, we prove that for any j ∈ $\mathbb{N}$ there exists ϵj > 0 such that if |θ| ≤ ϵj, the above problem possesses at least j distinct solutions. Our results generalize some known results in the literature and are new even in the symmetric situation.

In this paper, we prove existence results of positive solutions for the following nonlinear elliptic problem with gradient terms: [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] denotes the fractional Laplacian and [Formula: see text] is a smooth bounded domain in [Formula: see text]. It shown that under some assumptions on [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], the problem has at least one positive solution [Formula: see text]. Our proof is based on the classical scaling method of Gidas and Spruck and topological degree theory.

We analyse the multiplicity of non-negative solutions for the critical concave—convex-type equationwhere Ω is a bounded domain of ℝN, 1 < r < p and λ > 0, and μ is a real parameter. Combining minimization on the underlying Nehari manifold with energy estimates, we show that, under suitable conditions on a and b, three non-negative solutions may exist when λ is positive and sufficiently small and μ is in a right neighbourhood of μ1, the first weighted eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian. To the best of our knowledge, our multiplicity result is new, even in the semi-linear case p = 2.

Let Ω ⊂ ℝN, N ≥ 2, be a smooth bounded domain. It is shown that: (a) if [Formula: see text] and ess inf x ∈ y p(x) > 1, then the generalized Lebesgue space (Lp (·)(Ω), ‖·‖p(·)) is smooth; (b) if [Formula: see text] and p(x) > 1, [Formula: see text], then the generalized Sobolev space [Formula: see text] is smooth. In both situations, the formulae for the Gâteaux gradient of the norm corresponding to each of the above spaces are given; (c) if [Formula: see text] and p(x) ≥ 2, [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] is uniformly convex and smooth.
