Abstract

In this work, we study the existence and multiplicity of solutions for the following problem \begin{equation}\label{probaa1} \left\{ \begin{aligned} -(\Delta)_{p}^{s} u + V(x)|u|^{p-2}u &= \lambda f(u),&x\in\Omega; u&=0,&x\in \R^{N}\backslash\Omega, \end{aligned} \right. \end{equation} where ΩRN\Omega\subset\R^{N} is an open bounded set with Lipschitz boundary Ω\partial\Omega, N2,N\geqslant 2, VL(RN)V\in L^{\infty}(\R^{N}), and (Δ)ps(-\Delta)_p^s denotes the fractional pp-Laplacian with s(0,1),1<ps\in(0,1), 1<p, sp<Nsp<N, λ>0\lambda>0, and f:RRf:\R\rightarrow\R is a continuous function. We extend the results of Lopera {\it et al.} in \cite{Lopera1} by proving the existence of a second weak solution for problem (\ref{probaa1}). We apply a variant of the mountain-pass theorem due to Hofer \cite{Hofer2} and infinite-dimensional Morse theory to obtain the existence of at least two solutions.
