On the existence results for $m$-Harmonic equation with critical Choquard Nonlinearity

Abstract

This article established the existence results for the $m$-harmonic equation involving critical Choquard nonlinearity and subcritical perturbation. We first explore the minimizers of the $m$-harmonic operator with the critical Choquard equation. Then, using these minimizers, we establish delicate estimates to show the energy below the threshold level, which helps to recover the compactness. Further, we prove the existence of a nontrivial solution for our problem with different kinds of local and nonlocal subcritical perturbations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first article dealing with the polyharmonic equation and critical Choquard type nonlinearity. The results obtained are even new for $m\geq 2$.
