Abstract

In this article, we show the global multiplicity result for the following nonlocal singular problem \begin{equation*} (P_\la):\;\quad (-\De)^s u = u^{-q} + \la u^{{2^*_s}-1}, \quad u>0 \; \text{in}\; \Om,\quad u = 0 \; \mbox{in}\; \mb R^n \setminus\Om, \end{equation*} where \Om\Om is a bounded domain in \mbRn\mb{R}^n with smooth boundary \Om\partial \Om, n>2s,  s(0,1),  \la>0,  q>0n > 2s,\; s \in (0,1),\; \la >0,\; q>0 satisfies q(2s1)<(2s+1)q(2s-1)<(2s+1) and 2s=2nn2s2^*_s=\frac{2n}{n-2s}. Employing the variational method, we show the existence of at least two distinct weak positive solutions for (P\la)(P_\la) in X0X_0 when \la(0,\La)\la \in (0,\La) and no solution when \la>\La\la>\La, where \La>0\La>0 is appropriately chosen. We also prove a result of independent interest that any weak solution to (Pλ)(P_\lambda) is in Cα(Rn)C^\alpha(\R^n) with α=α(s,q)(0,1)\alpha=\alpha(s,q)\in (0,1). The asymptotic behaviour of weak solutions reveals that this result is sharp.
