Abstract

In this article, we prove the existence of solutions to a nonlinear nonlocal elliptic problem with a singualrity and a discontinuous critical nonlinearity which is given as follows. \begin{align} \begin{split}\label{main_prob} (-\Delta)_p^su&=\mu g(x,u)+\frac{\lambda}{u^\gamma}+H(u-\alpha)u^{p_s^*-1},~\text{in}~\Omega u&>0,~\text{in}~\Omega, u&=0,~\text{in}~\mathbb{R}^N\setminus\Omega, \end{split} \end{align} where ΩRN\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N is a bounded domain with Lipschitz boundary, s(0,1)s\in (0,1), 2<p<Ns2<p<\frac{N}{s}, γ(0,1)\gamma\in (0,1), λ,μ>0\lambda,\mu>0, α0\alpha\geq 0 is real, HH is the Heaviside function, i.e. H(a)=0H(a)=0 if a0a\leq 0, H(a)=1H(a)=1 if a>0a>0 and ps=NpNspp_s^*=\frac{Np}{N-sp} is the fractional critical Sobolev exponent. Under suitable assumptions on the function gg, we prove the existence of solution to the problem. Furthermore, we show that as α0+\alpha\rightarrow0^+, the sequence of solutions of \eqrefmainprob\eqref{main_prob} for each such α\alpha converges to a solution of the problem for which α=0\alpha=0.
