The aim of this paper is to study a concentration-compactness principle for inhomogeneous fractional Sobolev space $H^s (\mathbb{R}^N)$ for $0<s\leq N/2.$ As an application we establish Palais-Smale compactness for the Lagrangian associated…
We perform the apriori analysis of solutions to critical nonlinear elliptic equations on manifolds with boundary. The solutions are of minimizing type. The originality is that we impose no condition on the boundary, which leads us to assume…
One of the major difficulties in nonlinear elliptic problems involving critical nonlinearities is the compactness of Palais-Smale sequences. In their celebrated work \cite{BN}, Br\'ezis and Nirenberg introduced the notion of critical level…
This paper deals with the lack of compactness in nonlinear elliptic problems $(P)$. In particular, a domain $\Omega$ is provided where not converging Palais-Smale sequences exist at every energy level. Nevertheless, it is proved that…
