Abstract

In this paper we study the following class of fractional Kirchhoff problems: \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \varepsilon^{2s}M(\varepsilon^{2s-N}[u]^{2}_{s})(-\Delta)^{s}u + V(x) u= f(u) &\mbox{ in } \mathbb{R}^{N}, \\ u\in H^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{N}), \quad u>0 &\mbox{ in } \mathbb{R}^{N}, \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} where ε>0\varepsilon>0 is a small parameter, s(0,1)s\in (0, 1), N2N\geq 2, (Δ)s(-\Delta)^{s} is the fractional Laplacian, V:RNRV:\mathbb{R}^{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{R} is a positive continuous function, M:[0,)RM: [0, \infty)\rightarrow \mathbb{R} is a Kirchhoff function satisfying suitable conditions and f:RRf:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R} fulfills Berestycki-Lions type assumptions of subcritical or critical type. Using suitable variational arguments, we prove the existence of a family of positive solutions (uε)(u_{\varepsilon}) which concentrates at a local minimum of VV as ε0\varepsilon\rightarrow 0.
