Abstract

We study a class of fractional Schrödinger equations of the form ε2α(-∆)α u + V(x)u = ƒ(x, u) in ℝN, where ε is a positive parameter, 0 < α < 1, 2α < N, (-∆)α is the fractional Laplacian, V : ℝN → ℝ is a potential which may be bounded or unbounded and the nonlinearity ƒ : ℝN x ℝ → ℝ is superlinear and behaves like |u|p-2 u at infinity for some 2 < p < 2*α ≔ 2N / (N - 2α). Here we use a variational approach based on the Caffarelli and Silvestre's extension developed in [3] to obtain a nontrivial solution for ε sufficiently small.
