Abstract

We consider the following nonlocal critical problem with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions, \begin{equation} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} (-\Delta)^su=\lambda u+|u|^{2_s^*-2}u &\text{in}\ \Omega,\\ \mkern+38.5mu u=0& \text{on}\ \Sigma_{\mathcal{D}},\\ \mkern+24mu \displaystyle \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu}=0 &\text{on}\ \Sigma_{\mathcal{N}}, \end{array} \right. \end{equation} where (Δ)s(-\Delta)^s, s(1/2,1)s\in (1/2,1), is the spectral fractional Laplacian operator, ΩRN\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N, N>2sN>2s, is a smooth bounded domain, 2s=2NN2s2_s^*=\frac{2N}{N-2s} denotes the critical fractional Sobolev exponent, λ>0\lambda>0 is a real parameter, ν\nu is the outwards normal to Ω\partial\Omega, ΣD\Sigma_{\mathcal{D}}, ΣN\Sigma_{\mathcal{N}} are smooth (N1)(N-1)--dimensional submanifolds of Ω\partial\Omega such that ΣDΣN=Ω\Sigma_{\mathcal{D}}\cup\Sigma_{\mathcal{N}}=\partial\Omega, ΣDΣN=\Sigma_{\mathcal{D}}\cap\Sigma_{\mathcal{N}}=\emptyset and ΣDΣN=Γ\Sigma_{\mathcal{D}}\cap\overline{\Sigma}_{\mathcal{N}}=\Gamma is a smooth (N2)(N-2)--dimensional submanifold of Ω\partial\Omega. By employing a \nabla-theorem we prove the existence of multiple solutions when the parameter λ\lambda is in a left neighborhood of a given eigenvalue of (Δ)s(-\Delta)^s.
