A Global Compact Result for a Fractional Elliptic Problem with Critical Sobolev-Hardy Nonlinearities on ${\mathbb R}^N$

Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with the following type of elliptic problems: $$ (-\Delta)^{\alpha} u+a(x) u=\frac{|u|^{2^*_{s}-2}u}{|x|^s}+k(x)|u|^{q-2}u, u\,\in\,H^\alpha({\mathbb R}^N), $$ where $2<q< 2^*$, $0<\alpha<1$, $0<s<2\alpha$, $2^*_{s}=2(N-s)/(N-2\alpha)$ is the critical Sobolev-Hardy exponent, $2^*=2N/(N-2\alpha)$ is the critical Sobolev exponent, $a(x),k(x)\in C({\mathbb R}^N)$. Through a compactness analysis of the functional associated to the problem, we obtain the existence of positive solutions under certain assumptions on $a(x),k(x)$.
