Abstract

In the framework of fractional Sobolev space, using Nehari manifold and concentration compactness principle, we study a minimization problem in the whole space involving the fractional Laplacian. Firstly, we give a Lions type lemma in fractional Sobolev space, which is crucial in the proof of our main result. Then, by showing a relative compactness of minimizing sequence, we obtain the existence of minimizer for the above-mentioned fractional minimization problem. Furthermore, we also point out that the minimizer is actually a ground state solution for the associated fractional Schrodinger equation.
