Spectrum of the fractional $p-$Laplacian in $\mathbb{R}^N$ and decay estimate for positive solutions of a Schr\"odinger equation

Abstract

In this paper, we prove the existence of unbounded sequence of eigenvalues for the fractional $p-$Laplacian with weight in $\mathbb{R}^N.$ We also show a nonexistence result when the weighthas positive integral. In addition, we show some qualitative properties of the first eigenfunction including a sharp decay estimate. Finally, we extend the decay result to the positive solutions of a Schr\"odinger type equation.
