Abstract

In this article, we study the following pp-fractional Laplacian equation \begin{equation*} (P_{\la}) \left\{ \begin{array}{lr} - 2\int_{\mb R^n}\frac{|u(y)-u(x)|^{p-2}(u(y)-u(x))}{|x-y|^{n+p\al}} dy = \la |u(x)|^{p-2}u(x) + b(x)|u(x)|^{\ba-2}u(x)\; \text{in}\; \Om \quad \quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad u = 0 \; \mbox{in}\; \mb R^n \setminus\Om,\quad u\in W^{\al,p}(\mb R^n).\\ \end{array} \quad \right. \end{equation*} where \Om\Om is a bounded domain in \mbRn\mb R^n with smooth boundary, n>p\aln> p\al, p2p\geq 2, \al(0,1)\al\in(0,1), \la>0\la>0 and b:\Om\mbRn\ra\mbRb:\Om\subset\mb R^n \ra \mb R is a sign-changing continuous function. We show the existence and multiplicity of non-negative solutions of (P\la)(P_{\la}) with respect to the parameter \la\la, which changes according to whether 1<\ba<p1<\ba<p or p<\ba<p=npnp\alp< \ba< p^{*}=\frac{np}{n-p\al} respectively. We discuss both the cases separately. Non-existence results are also obtained.
