Abstract

In this article, the problems to be studied are the following \leqnomode \begin{equation*} \label{p} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} (-\Delta )_p^s u \pm \dfrac{|u|^{p-2}u}{|x|^{sp}} = \lambda f(x,u) & \quad \mbox{in }\ \Omega\\[0.3cm] u= 0 & \quad \mbox{on }\ \mathbb{R}^N \setminus \Omega,\tag{P±_{\pm}} \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} \reqnomode where Ω\Omega is a bounded regular domain in RN(N2)\mathbb{R}^N(N\geq 2) containing the origin, p>1p>1, s(0,1)s\in(0,1), (N>ps)(N>ps), λ>0\lambda>0, f:Ω×RRf : \Omega \times \mathbb{R} \longrightarrow \mathbb{R} is a Carath\'eodory function satisfying a suitable growth condition and (Δ)ps(-\Delta )_p^s is the fractional p-Laplacian defined as (Δ)psu(x)=2limε0RNBε(x)u(x)u(y)p2(u(x)u(y))xyN+sp dy,    xRN,(-\Delta )_{p}^{s} u(x) = \displaystyle 2 \lim_{\varepsilon \rightarrow 0} \int_{\mathbb{R}^N \setminus B_{\varepsilon}(x)} \dfrac{\vert u(x)-u(y) \vert^{p-2}(u(x)-u(y))}{\vert x-y \vert^{N+sp}} ~dy, ~~~~ x \in \mathbb{R}^N, where Bε(x)B_{\varepsilon}(x) is the open ε\varepsilon-ball of centre xx and radius ε\varepsilon. Using the critical point theory combining to the fractional Hardy inequality, we show that the problem (P+)(P_+) admits at least two distinct nontrivial weak solutions. For the problem (P),(P_-), we use the concentration-compactness principle for fractional Sobolev spaces to give a weak lower semicontinuity result and prove that problem (P)(P_-) admits at least one non-trivial weak solution.
