Abstract

We study the problem \begin{eqnarray*} (-\Delta)^s u &=& u^p - u^q \quad\text{in }\quad \mathbb{R}^N, u &\in& \dot{H}^s(\mathbb{R}^N)\cap L^{q+1}(\mathbb{R}^N), u&>0& \quad\text{in}\quad\mathbb{R}^N, \end{eqnarray*} where s(0,1)s\in(0,1) is a fixed parameter, (Δ)s(-\Delta)^s is the fractional laplacian in RN\mathbb{R}^N, q>pN+2sN2sq>p\geq \frac{N+2s}{N-2s} and N>2sN>2s. For every s(0,1)s\in(0,1), we establish regularity results of solutions of above equation (whenever solution exists) and we show that every solution is a classical solution. Next, we derive certain decay estimate of solutions and the gradient of solutions at infinity for all s(0,1)s\in(0,1). Using those decay estimates, we prove Pohozaev type identity in RN\mathbb{R}^N and show that the above problem does not have any solution when p=N+2sN2sp=\frac{N+2s}{N-2s}. We also discuss radial symmetry and decreasing property of the solution and prove that when p>N+2sN2sp>\frac{N+2s}{N-2s}, the above problem admits a solution. Moreover, if we consider the above equation in a bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary condition, we prove that it admits a solution for every pN+2sN2sp\geq \frac{N+2s}{N-2s} and every solution is a classical solution.
