Existence and nonexistence of nontrivial solutions for Choquard type equations

Tao Wang

Abstract:
In this article, we consider the nonlocal problem
$$ -\Delta u+u=q(x)\Big(\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}\frac{q(y)|u(y)|^p}{|x-y|^{N-\alpha}}dy \Big)|u|^{p-2}u,\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^N, $$
where $N\geq 3$, $\alpha\in (0,N)$, $\frac{N+\alpha}{N}<p<\frac{N+\alpha}{N-2}$ and q(x) is a given potential. Under suitable assumptions on q(x), we prove the existence and nonexistence of nontrivial solutions.
