Abstract

In this work we study the following fractional critical problem (Pλ)={(Δ)su=λuq+u2s1,u>0\mboxinΩu=0\mboxin\RRnΩ, (P_{\lambda})=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} (-\Delta)^s u=\lambda u^{q} + u^{2^*_{s}-1}, \quad u{>}0 & \mbox{in} \Omega\\ u=0 & \mbox{in} \RR^n\setminus \Omega\,, \end{array}\right. where ΩRn\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n is a regular bounded domain, λ>0\lambda>0, 0<s<10<s<1 and n>2sn>2s. Here (Δ)s(-\Delta)^s denotes the fractional Laplace operator defined, up to a normalization factor, by (Δ)su(x)=P.V.\RRnu(x+y)+u(xy)2u(x)yn+2sdy,x\RRn. -(-\Delta)^s u(x)={\rm P. V.} \int_{\RR^n}\frac{u(x+y)+u(x-y)-2u(x)}{|y|^{n+2s}}\,dy, \quad x\in \RR^n. Our main results show the existence and multiplicity of solutions to problem (Pλ)(P_\lambda) for different values of λ\lambda. The dependency on this parameter changes according to whether we consider the concave power case (0<q<10<q<1) or the convex power case (1<q<2s11<q<2^*_s-1). These two cases will be treated separately.
