Ground state solutions for asymptotically periodic fractional Schrödinger–Poisson problems with asymptotically cubic or super‐cubic nonlinearities

In this paper, we consider the following fractional Schrödinger–Poisson problem: where s,t∈(0,1],4s+2t>3,V(x),K(x), and f(x,u) are periodic or asymptotically periodic in x. We use the non‐Nehari manifold approach to establish the existence of the Nehari‐type ground state solutions in two cases: the periodic one and the asymptotically periodic case, by introducing weaker conditions uniformly in with and with constant θ₀∈(0,1), instead of uniformly in and the usual Nehari‐type monotonic condition on f(x,τ)/|τ|³. Our results unify both asymptotically cubic or super‐cubic nonlinearities, which are new even for s=t=1. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Using the Fourier frequency localization and the Bony paraproduct decomposition, let u_F:=e^tΔu₀; we prove that there exist 2 positive constants σ₀ and C₀ such that if the gravitational potential and the initial data (u₀,n₀,c₀) satisfy for some p,q with and , then the global solutions can be established in critical Besov spaces.     

Solution operators of three time variables for fractional linear problems

It is well known that the time fractional equation where is the fractional time derivative in the sense of Caputo of u does not generate a dynamical system in the standard sense. In this paper, we study the algebraic properties of the solution operator T(t,s,τ) for that equation with u(s) = v. We apply this theory to linear time fractional PDEs with constant coefficients. These equations are solved by the Fourier multiplier techniques. It appears that their solution exhibits some singularity, which leads us to introduce a new kind of solution for abstract time fractional problems. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Two homoclinic solutions for a nonperiodic fourth‐order differential equation without coercive condition

In this paper, we investigate the existence of homoclinic solutions for a class of fourth‐order nonautonomous differential equations where w is a constant, and . By using variational methods and the mountain pass theorem, some new results on the existence of homoclinic solutions are obtained under some suitable assumptions. The interesting is that a(x) and f(x,u) are nonperiodic in x,a does not fulfil the coercive condition, and f does not satisfy the well‐known (AR)‐condition. Furthermore, the main result partly answers the open problem proposed by Zhang and Yuan in the paper titled with Homoclinic solutions for a nonperiodic fourth‐order differential equations without coercive conditions (see Appl. Math. Comput. 2015; 250:280–286). Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
