Existence of Solutions for a Nonlocal Variational Problem in ℝ 2 with Exponential Critical Growth

Claudianor O. Alves, Minbo Yang

We study the existence of nontrivial solutions for the following class of nonlocal problem,

-\Delta u +V(x)u =\Big( I_\mu\ast F(x,u)\Big)f(x,u) \quad \text{in} \quad \mathbb{R}^2, − Δ u + V ( x ) u = ( I μ ∗ F ( x , u ) ) f ( x , u ) in R 2 ,
where
V V
is a positive periodic potential,
I_\mu=\frac{1}{|x|^\mu} I μ = 1 ∣ x ∣ μ
,
0<\mu<2 0 < μ < 2
and
F(x,s) F ( x , s )
is the primitive function of
f(x,s) f ( x , s )
in the variable
s s
. By assuming that the nonlinearity
f(x,s) f ( x , s )
has an exponential critical growth at infinity, we prove the existence of solutions by variational methods.
