A bifurcation and symmetry result for critical fractional Laplacian equations involving a perturbation
Advances in Difference Equations volume 2020, Article number: 58 (2020)
Abstract
In the present paper, by using the variational and topological methods, we obtain a multiplicity and bifurcation result for the following fractional problems involving critical nonlinearities and a lower order perturbation:
where Ω is an open and bounded domain with Lipschitz boundary, \(N>2s\), with \(s\in (0,1)\), g is a lower order perturbation of the critical power \(|v|^{2_{s}^{*}-2}v\) and μ is a positive real parameter, \(2_{s}^{*}=\frac{2N}{N-2s}\) is the fractional critical Sobolev exponent, while \(\mathcal{L}_{K}\) is an integro-differential operator. Precisely, we show that the number of nontrivial solutions for this equation under suitable assumptions is at least twice the multiplicity of the eigenvalue. Our conclusions improve the related results in some respects.
1 Introduction
Recently, fractional nonlocal problems with critical nonlinearities have attracted the interest of mathematicians because of their applications in many fields, such as, flame propagation, water waves, optimization, multiple scattering, and so on. We refer the interested reader to [1–6] and the references therein.
In 1983, Brezis and Nirenberg first proposed a kind of critical problem in [7],
which have been widely studied (see for example [8–12]) thanks to relations with problems that arise in differential geometry and physics. Here Ω is an open and bounded domain, \(N>2\), \(2^{*}=\frac{2N}{N-2}\) is the fractional critical Sobolev exponent. Subsequently, Cerami et al. proved the first multiplicity result of problem (1.1) in [13]. Later, under suitable assumptions of dimension N and parameters, many authors have given the existence and multiplicity of the solution of this kind of problem (for more details see for instance [14–17]). In all of the above papers, the classical known existence results are extended to the following nonlocal fractional setting [5, 6, 11, 18]:
where Ω is an open and bounded domain with Lipschitz boundary, \(N>2s\), with \(s\in (0,1)\), μ is a real parameter, \(2_{s}^{*}= \frac{2N}{N-2s}\) is the fractional critical Sobolev exponent and \(-(-\Delta )^{s}\) is the fractional Laplace operator, up to normalization factors, may be defined as follows:
for (see [19] for more details on the fractional Laplacian). Through observation, we find that due to the characteristics of nonlocal problems, the boundary condition of problem (1.2) is a natural counterpart of the Dirichlet boundary condition of problem (1.1). The literature on bifurcated results for nonlocal fractional equations is very interesting, we refer to see [20, 21] and the references therein.
Motivated by the above work, the aim of this paper is to investigate the multiplicity of solutions for a class of fractional equations involving critical nonlinearities and a lower order perturbation:
where \(\mathcal{L}_{K}\) is a integro-differential operator defined as follows:
where function is a kernel such that
Thanks to taking \(K(x)=|x|^{-(N+2s)}\), we have \(\mathcal{L}_{K}=-(- \Delta )^{s}\), so we call the operator \(\mathcal{L}_{K}\) is a extension of the fractional Laplacian.
Finally, g is a lower order perturbation of the critical power \(|v|^{2_{s}^{*}-2}v\), and it is a Carathéodory function from to satisfying the following assumptions:
- \((g_{1})\):
\(\sup \{|g(x,t)|: \text{ a.e. } x\in \varOmega, t\in [0,D]\}<+ \infty \text{ for any } D>0\);
- \((g_{2})\):
\(\lim_{ |t|\rightarrow 0}\frac{g(x,t)}{t}=0 \) uniformly for \(x\in \varOmega \);
- \((g_{3})\):
\(\lim_{ |t|\rightarrow \infty }\frac{g(x,t)}{|t|^{2_{s} ^{*}-1}}=0 \) uniformly for \(x\in \varOmega \);
- \((g_{4})\):
, where \(s>\epsilon >0\);
- \((g_{5})\):
\(g(x,-t)=-g(x,t)\) for all .
As a typical example for g we can set \(g(x,t)=l(x)|t|^{\xi -2}t\), with \(l(x)\in L^{\infty }(\varOmega )\), \(l(x)\geq 0\) a.e. \(x\in \varOmega \) and \(\xi \in (2,2_{s}^{*})\).
Obviously, \(v\equiv 0\) is a trivial solution of problem (E). Hence, we are only interested in nontrivial solutions. The nontrivial weak solutions of problem (E) is equivalent to the nontrivial solutions of the following problem:
which represents the Euler–Lagrange equation of the functional defined as
where the space \(V_{0}\) will be introduced in Sect. 2.
Along the present paper, represents the eigenvalues of the following homogeneous Dirichlet problem:
with
and \(\{f_{j}\}\) is the eigenfunction of the eigenvalue \(\mu _{j}\). Moreover, we choose \(\{f_{j}\}_{j\in N}\) to standardize, so that this sequence is an orthonormal basis for space \(L^{2}(\varOmega )\) and an orthogonal basis of \(V_{0}\). For a detailed study of the spectrum of operators \(-\mathcal{L}_{K}\), please refer to reference [22, Proposition 9 and Appendix A].
Definition 1
In the end, we claim that the eigenvalue \(\mu _{j}, j\geq 2\), has multiplicity if
In this case, the space composed of the eigenfunctions corresponding to the eigenvalue \(\mu _{j}\) is
Next, we also give the definition of the best fractional critical Sobolev space constant \(S_{K}\):
The main feature of this paper is that we are concerned about the existence of multiple solutions to the problem (E). To be precise, our main results are as follows.
Theorem 1.1
Set \(s\in (0,1)\), \(N>2s\), Ωis an open bounded domain in with continuous boundary, and take be a function fulfilling condition (1.3). Let and take \(\mu ^{\ast }\)be the eigenvalue of problem (1.5) given by
and take be its multiplicity. Suppose that
where \(|\varOmega |\)indicates the Lebesgue measure of the setΩ, and \(S_{K}\)is defined in (1.7). If \((g_{1})\)–\((g _{5})\)hold. Then problem (E) has at leastkpairs of nontrivial solutions \(\{-v_{\mu,i}, v_{\mu,i}\}\)such that
for any \(i=1,\ldots,k\).
Remark 1.1
Finding weak solutions to problem (E) is essentially looking for critical points for the functional \(J_{K, \mu }(v)\) associated with this equation. In this theorem, we show that in the proper left neighborhood of any eigenvalue of operator \(-\mathcal{L}_{k}\) (with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition), the number of nontrivial solutions to problem (E) is twice as many as the eigenvalue multiplicity. Our method is based on the abstract critical point theorem thanks to Bartolo, Benci and Fortunato in [7, Theorem 2.4], which will be introduced in Sect. 2. Our result is a generalization of the conclusion in [18].
Remark 1.2
Now, take \(\mu ^{\ast }\) be as in (1.8). Hence,
Because \(\mu ^{\ast }\) has multiplicity thanks to assumption, we get
We claim that the parameter μ is a positive constant. Indeed, in view of definition of \(\mu ^{*}\) and consider (1.6), it is clearly seen that
Furthermore, the variational characterization of the first eigenvalue \(\mu _{1}\) (refer to [22, Proposition 9 and Appendix A]) shows that
Since it follows from the Hölder inequality that
by the above inequality and (1.12), we have
which combined with (1.11) yields
Thus, according to (1.9) and (1.13), we see that the parameter \(\mu >0\).
The paper is structured as follows. In Sect. 2 we introduce our workspace and some lemmas that we will use. In Sect. 3 we verify the geometric structure and conditions of the abstract critical point theory, and give me the proof of Theorem 1.1.
2 Workspace and some lemmas
In this section, we first introduce our workspace, then present the main tool of this article, and finally provide some basic lemmas to be used in this article.
Problem (E) has variational characteristics. The space for finding weak solutions is functional space \(V_{0}\), which is defined as follows (we can refer to [23] for the detailed nature and introduction of this space).
Through this paper, the space V is a linear space of Lebesgue measurable functions from to such that the restriction to Ω of any function v in V belongs to \(L^{2}(\varOmega )\) and
where , and
We recall that the space \(V_{0}\) and V are non-empty thanks to \(C_{0}^{2}\subseteq V_{0}\) (see [24, Lemma 5.1]): here we need condition (1.3).
The space V is endowed the following norm:
where and . Furthermore, according to [23, Lemma 6] as a norm on \(V_{0}\) we can let the function
Moreover, \((V_{0}, \Vert \cdot \Vert _{V_{0}})\) is a Hilbert space (see [23, Lemma 7]) with the scalar product given by
We denote the usual fractional Sobolev space by \(H^{s}(\varOmega )\), which endowed with norm (the so-called Gagliardo norm) as follows:
We note that the norms in (2.1) and (2.4) are not the same when \(K(x)=\frac{1}{|x|^{N+2s}}\), due to \(\varOmega \times \varOmega \) is contained strictly in \(\mathcal{Z}\). It makes the space \(V_{0}\) different from the usual classical fractional Sobolev space. Thus, from the point of view of the variational method, the classical fractional Sobolev space is insufficient for investigating our problem.
Next, we give the abstract critical point theorem [25, Theorem 2.4].
Theorem 2.1
Let \(V_{0}\)be a real Hilbert space with norm \(\|\cdot \|\)and assume that with \(J(0)=0\)and \(J(v)=J(-v)\), also satisfying the following conditions:
- \((J_{1})\):
there exists \(\alpha >0\)such that the Palais–Smale condition forJholds in \((0,\alpha )\);
- \((J_{2})\):
there exist two closed subspaces \(X, Y\subset V_{0}\)and positive constants \(\varrho, \sigma, \alpha ^{\prime }\), with \(\sigma < \alpha ^{\prime }<\alpha \), such that
- (i)
\(J(v)\leq \alpha ^{\prime }\)for any \(v\in Y\),
- (ii)
\(J(v)\geq \sigma \)for any \(v\in X\)with \(\|v\|=\varrho \),
- (iii)
\(\operatorname{codim}X<+\infty \)and dim \(Y\geq \operatorname{codim} X\).
Then there exist at least dimY-codimXpairs of critical points ofJ, with critical values belonging to the interval \([\sigma, \alpha ^{\prime }]\).
- (i)
Making use of the behavior of g at zero and at infinity, we give some estimates on the non-linear term g and its primitive G (with respect to its second variable).
Lemma 2.1
([6, Lemma 6])
Suppose thatgis a Carathéodory function satisfying conditions \((g_{1})\)–\((g_{3})\). Then, for any \(\varepsilon >0\)there exists \(\delta =\delta (\varepsilon )\)such that a.e. \(x\in \varOmega \)and for any
and so, as a consequence,
whereGis defined as in \((g_{4})\).
The following lemma will be used when we verify the functional geometry.
Lemma 2.2
([23, Lemma 6])
Let be a function fulfilling condition (1.3). Then there exists a positive constantd, depending only onNands, such that for any \(v\in V_{0}\)
where \(2^{*}_{s}\)is given in (1.2).
3 Proof of the main result
In this section, the idea is to apply Theorem 2.1 to prove that functional satisfies compactness conditions and suitable geometric. It is easy to see that \(J_{K,\mu }\) is well defined thanks to [18]. Furthermore, and
for any \(v,\psi \in V_{0}\). Therefore, critical points of functional \(J_{K,\mu }\) are solutions to problem (E), it is also the weak solutions of problem (1.4). Observe that the functional \(J_{K,\mu }\) is even and functional \(J_{K,\mu }(0)=0\) thanks to \((g_{5})\). Next, it is suffice to show that the functional \(J_{K,\mu }\) fulfills conditions \((J_{1})\) and \((J_{2})\). In order to this aim, let us do it step by step.
Step 1 (Compactness condition of \(J_{K,\mu }\)). Similar to the proof in the literature [6, Proposition 2], we obtained the following lemma, which states that the functional satisfies the (PS) condition at any level c, provided c belongs to a suitable threshold depending on the best fractional critical constant \(S_{K}\).
Lemma 3.1
Assume thatgis a Carathéodory function satisfying conditions \((g_{1})\)–\((g_{4})\)and is a function fulfilling condition (1.3). Set such that
and take \(v_{j}\)a sequence in \(V_{0}\)such that
Then there exists \(v_{\infty }\in V_{0}\)such that, up to a subsequence, \(\|v_{j}-v_{\infty }\|_{V_{0}}\rightarrow 0\)as \(j\rightarrow +\infty \).
Remark 3.1
Since our condition \((g_{4})\) can imply the (1.11) and (1.12) conditions in Ref. [18], hence we can prove our lemma as Ref. [6, Proposition 2], which is omitted here.
Step 2 (Geometric stucture of \(J_{K,\mu }\)). Using the notation in Theorem 2.1, we take
and
Obviously both X and Y are closed subspaces of \(V_{0}\) and
Hence, we see that (\(J_{2}\))(iii) of Theorem 2.1 is satisfied.
Next, let us prove that the functional \(J_{K,\mu }\) possesses the geometric properties of Theorem 2.1, that is, it satisfies the conditions (\(J_{2}\))(i) and (ii) of Theorem 2.1.
Proof
Take \(v\in Y\). Then
where . Because \(\{f_{i},\ldots,f_{j},\ldots \}\) is an orthonormal basis of \(L^{2}(\varOmega )\) and an orthogonal basis of \(V_{0}\), considering (1.10) we have
hence, according to this and Hölder inequality, \((g_{4})\), we get
thanks to \((g_{4})\). Now, for \(m\geq 0\) take
Obverse that h is differentiable in \((0,+\infty )\) and
as a result \(h^{\prime }(m)\geq 0\) if and only if
Thus, the function h maximizes at m̅, and for any \(m\geq 0\)
It follows from (3.2) and (3.3) that
We note that
thanks to \(\mu <\mu ^{\ast }\) by (1.9).
In the end, take \(v\in X\). We claim that
Indeed, If v is equal to 0, this is obviously true, while if \(v\in X\setminus \{0\}\) it follows from the variational characterization of \(\mu ^{\ast }=\mu _{j}\) defined by
as proved in [15, Proposition 9].
Therefore, according to Lemma 2.1, Lemma 2.2, Hölder inequality, (1.3) and (3.5), we obtain for any \(\varepsilon >0\)
where ϑ was defined in (1.3). We take \(v\in X\) be such that \(\|v\|_{V_{0}}=\varrho >0\). We can choose ε such that \(2\varepsilon d|\varOmega |^{\frac{2^{*}_{s}-2}{2^{*}_{s}}}<\vartheta (1-\frac{\mu }{\mu ^{\ast }} )\), and let ϱ be small enough, say \(\varrho \leq \overline{\varrho }\) with \(\overline{\varrho }>0\), so that
and
thanks to the fact that \(2^{*}_{s}>2\). □
Proof of Theorem 1.1
From Step 1, it is easy to see that \(J_{K,\mu }\) fulfills \((J_{1})\) with
Moreover, according to Step 2, it follows from (3.3)–(3.8) that \(J_{K,\mu }\) satisfies \((J_{2})\) with
and
By (3.7), (3.8) and assumption (1.9), we note that
In conclusion, functional \(J_{K,\mu }\) satisfies all the conditions in abstract critical point theory (i.e. Theorem 2.1), so the functional has k pairs \(\{-v_{\mu,i},v_{\mu,i}\}\) of critical points whose values are such that
for any \(i=1,\ldots,k\).
Furthermore, by (3.9) and \(J_{K,\mu }(0)=0\), clearly, these critical points are nontrivial. Therefore, problem (E) has at least k pairs of nontrivial weak solutions \(\{-v_{\mu,i}, v_{\mu,i}\}\). At present, fix \(i\in \{1,\ldots,k\}\). According to (3.9) and \((g_{4})\) we get
As a result, passing to the limit as \(\mu \rightarrow \mu ^{\ast }\) in (3.10), we obtain
Hence, by (3.11), since \(L^{2^{*}_{s}}(\varOmega )\hookrightarrow L^{2}(\varOmega )\) is continuous and Ω is bounded, we also have
So, based on the discussion above and Lemma 2.1, we get
which combined with (3.11) and (3.11) implies
This means that the proof of Theorem 1.1 is complete. □
4 The prospect of future problems
In this section we want to generalize our problem to the more general case p. The equation that we deal with becomes
where Ω is an open and bounded domain with Lipschitz boundary, \(N>ps\), with \(s\in (0,1)\), and μ is a positive real parameter, \(p_{s}^{*}=\frac{pN}{N-ps}\) is the fractional critical Sobolev exponent, while \(\mathcal{L}^{p}_{K}\) is an integro-differential operator defined as follows:
for all , where \(\mathcal{B}_{\varepsilon }(x)= \{z ||x-z|<\varepsilon \}\). The function is a kernel such that
Thanks to taking \(K(x)=|x|^{-(N+ps)}\), we have \(\mathcal{L}^{p}_{K}=-(- \Delta )_{p}^{s}\), so we call the operator \(\mathcal{L}^{p}_{K}\) an extension of the fractional p-Laplacian.
Similarly, g is a lower order perturbation of the critical power \(|v|^{p_{s}^{*}-2}v\), and it is a Carathéodory function from to satisfying the following assumptions:
- \((g^{\prime }_{1})\):
\(\sup \{|g(x,t)|: \text{ a.e. } x\in \varOmega, t\in [0,D] \}<+\infty \text{ for any } D>0\);
- \((g^{\prime }_{2})\):
\(\lim_{ |t|\rightarrow 0}\frac{g(x,t)}{t^{p-1}}=0 \) uniformly for \(x\in \varOmega \);
- \((g^{\prime }_{3})\):
\(\lim_{ |t|\rightarrow \infty }\frac{g(x,t)}{|t|^{p _{s}^{*}-1}}=0 \) uniformly for \(x\in \varOmega \);
- \((g^{\prime }_{4})\):
, where \(s>\epsilon >0\);
- \((g^{\prime }_{5})\):
\(g(x,-t)=-g(x,t)\) for all .
A typical example for g we can set \(g(x,t)=l(x)|t|^{\xi -2}t\), with \(l(x)\in L^{\infty }(\varOmega )\), \(l(x)\geq 0\) a.e. \(x\in \varOmega \) and \(\xi \in (p,p_{s}^{*})\).
Next, we also give the definition of the best fractional critical Sobolev space constant \(S^{p}_{K}\)
represents the eigenvalues of the following problem:
with
and \(\{f_{j}\}\) is the eigenfunction of the eigenvalue \(\mu _{j}\). Moreover, we choose \(\{f_{j}\}_{j\in N}\) to standardize, so that this sequence is an orthonormal basis for space \(L^{p}(\varOmega )\) and an orthogonal basis of \(V_{0}\).
We give the main result of this section.
Theorem 4.1
Set \(s\in (0,1)\), \(N>ps\), Ωis an open bounded domain in with continuous boundary, and take be a function fulfilling condition (4.1). Let and take \(\mu ^{\ast }\)be the eigenvalue of problem (4.4) given by
and take be its multiplicity. Suppose that
where \(|\varOmega |\)indicates the Lebesgue measure of the setΩ, and \(S^{p}_{K}\)is defined in (4.3). If \((g^{\prime }_{1})\)–\((g ^{\prime }_{5})\)hold, then problem (4.1) has at leastkpairs of nontrivial solutions \(\{-v_{\mu,i}, v_{\mu,i}\}\)such that
for any \(i=1,\ldots,k\).
Remark 4.1
In this theorem, our workspace \(V_{0}\) can be defined in the form in the literature [26]. Our proof method and process are similar to the situation when \(p=2\). Therefore, we omit it here. We also show that a multiplicity and bifurcation result for the kind of fractional p-Laplacian equation.
5 Conclusion
In this work, a multiplicity and bifurcation result for fractional problems is obtained by using the variational and topological methods. Our conclusions improve the related results in some respects. The fractional nonlocal problems with critical nonlinearities have their applications in many fields, for example, in [27] the authors described a model of flow in porous media including nonlocal (long-range) diffusion effects. The model is based on Darcy’s law and the pressure is related to the density by an inverse fractional Laplacian operator. They proved the existence of solutions that propagate with finite speed. Examples are flame propagation, water waves, optimization, multiple scattering, thin obstacle problem, image reconstruction, through a new and fascinating scientific approach (see, e.g., the papers [28, 29]). In the future, such kind of bifurcation results can be obtained in applications to a class of fractional Kirchhoff equations. In this direction, one can refer to Refs. [30–35].
