Abstract

We look for solutions to a fractional Schr\"odinger equation of the following form (Δ)α/2u+(V(x)μxα)u=f(x,u)K(x)uq2u on RN{0}, (-\Delta)^{\alpha / 2} u + \left( V(x) - \frac{\mu}{|x|^{\alpha}} \right) u = f(x,u)-K(x)|u|^{q-2}u\hbox{ on }\mathbb{R}^N \setminus \{0\}, where VV is bounded and close-to-periodic potential and μxα- \frac{\mu}{|x|^{\alpha}} is a Hardy-type potential. We assume that VV is positive and ff has the subcritical growth but not higher than uq2u|u|^{q-2}u. If μ\mu is positive and small enough we find a ground state solution, i.e. a critical point of the energy being minimizer on the Nehari manifold. If μ\mu is negative we show that there is no ground state solutions. We are also interested in an asymptotic behaviour of solutions as μ0+\mu \to 0^+ and K0K \to 0.
