This paper deals with the following non-linear equation with a fractional Laplacian operator and almost critical exponents: \[ (-\Delta)^{s} u=K(|y'|,y'')u^{({N+2s})/(N-2s)\pm\epsilon},\quad u > 0,\quad u\in D^{1,s}(\mathbb{R}^{N}), \] where N ⩾ 4, 0 < s < 1, (y′, y″) ∈ ℝ2 × ℝN−2, ε > 0 is a small parameter and K(y) is non-negative and bounded. Under some suitable assumptions of the potential function K(r, y″), we will use the finite-dimensional reduction method and some local Pohozaev identities to prove that the above problem has a large number of bubble solutions. The concentration points of the bubble solutions include a saddle point of K(y). Moreover, the functional energies of these solutions are in the order $\epsilon ^{-(({N-2s-2})/({(N-2s)^2})}$ .

AbstractIn this paper, we study the following nonlinear Schrödinger–Newton type system:\left\{\begin{aligned} &\displaystyle{-}\epsilon^{2}\Delta u+u-\Phi(x)u=Q(x)|u% |u,&&\displaystyle x\in\mathbb{R}^{3},\\ &\displaystyle{-}\epsilon^{2}\Delta\Phi=u^{2},&&\displaystyle x\in\mathbb{R}^{% 3},\end{aligned}\right.where {\epsilon>0} and {Q(x)} is a positive bounded continuous potential on {\mathbb{R}^{3}} satisfying some suitable conditions. By applying the finite-dimensional reduction method, we prove that for any positive integer k, the system has a positive solution with k-peaks concentrating near a strict local minimum point {x_{0}} of {Q(x)} in {\mathbb{R}^{3}}, provided that {\epsilon>0} is sufficiently small.

We describe a finite-dimensional reduction method to find solutions for a class of slightly supercritical elliptic problems. A suitable truncation argument allows us to work in the usual Sobolev space even in the presence of supercritical nonlinearities: we modify the supercritical term in such a way to have subcritical approximating problems; for these problems, the finite-dimensional reduction can be obtained applying the methods already developed in the subcritical case; finally, we show that, if the truncation is realized at a sufficiently large level, then the solutions of the approximating problems, given by these methods, also solve the supercritical problems when the parameter is small enough.

AbstractWe study the existence of positive solutions for fractional elliptic equations of the type (-Δ)1/2u = h(u), u > 0 in (-1,1), u = 0 in ℝ∖(-1,1) where h is a real valued function that behaves like eu2 as u → ∞ . Here (-Δ)1/2 is the fractional Laplacian operator. We show the existence of mountain-pass solution when the nonlinearity is superlinear near t = 0. In case h is concave near t = 0, we show the existence of multiple solutions for suitable range of λ by analyzing the fibering maps and the corresponding Nehari manifold.

The fractional Laplacian, also known as the Riesz fractional derivative operator, describes an unusual diffusion process due to random displacements executed by jumpers that are able to walk to neighbouring or nearby sites, as well as perform excursions to remote sites by way of Lévy flights. The fractional Laplacian has many applications in the boundary behaviours of solutions to differential equations. The goal of this paper is to investigate the half-order Laplacian operator ( − Δ ) 1 2 in the distributional sense, based on the generalized convolution and Temple’s delta sequence. Several interesting examples related to the fractional Laplacian operator of order 1 / 2 are presented with applications to differential equations, some of which cannot be obtained in the classical sense by the standard definition of the fractional Laplacian via Fourier transform.
