Ground state solutions for Bessel fractional equations with irregular nonlinearities

Abstract

We consider the semilinear fractional equation $ (I-\Delta)^s u = a(x) |u|^{p-2}u$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$, where $N \geq 3$, $0<s<1$, $2<p<2N/(N-2s)$ and $a$ is a bounded weight function. Without assuming that $a$ has an asymptotic profile at infinity, we prove the existence of a ground state solution.
