On Coron problems with Choquard term and mixed operator

Abstract

In this article, we study a Coron-type problem involving a critical Choquard nonlinearity driven by a mixed operator combining the Laplacian and fractional Laplacian. In annular-type domains, we prove the existence of nontrivial positive solutions when the inner hole is sufficiently small. Using variational methods and concentration compactness arguments, we establish a global compactness result for Palais- Smale sequences and obtain high-energy solutions using topological methods. We also derive regularity results for weak solutions.
