Abstract

In this paper, we study the existence of solution for the following class of nonlocal problem, {Δu=(λf(x)RNK(x,y)u(y)γdy)u,\mboxinRN,limx+u(x)=0,u>0inRN,\eqno(P) \left\{ \begin{array}{lcl} -\Delta u=\left(\lambda f(x)-\int_{\R^N}K(x,y)|u(y)|^{\gamma}dy\right)u,\quad \mbox{in} \quad \R^{N}, \\ \displaystyle \lim_{|x| \to +\infty}u(x)=0,\quad u>0 \quad \text{in} \quad \R^{N}, \end{array} \right. \eqno{(P)} where N3N\geq3, λ>0,γ[1,2)\lambda >0, \gamma\in[1,2), f:RRf:\R\rightarrow\R is a positive continuous function and K:RN×RNRK:\R^N\times\R^N\rightarrow\R is a nonnegative function. The functions ff and KK satisfy some conditions, which permit to use Bifurcation Theory to prove the existence of solution for problem (P)(P).
