Singular perturbations for superlinear problems in non-reflexive fractional Orlicz–Sobolev spaces

Marcos Carvalho, Ana Machado, Edcarlos Silva, Anouar Bahrouni

Abstract

In this work, we investigate the existence and multiplicity as well as regularity of solutions for a huge class of concave–convex problems involving the fractional

upper Phi $\Phi$ Φ
-Laplacian operator in non-reflexive setting. The main difficulty arises from the lack of homogeneity for the
upper Phi $\Phi$ Φ
-Laplacian operator. An additional difficulty stems from the interplay between a singular term and a superlinear term. To address these issues, we introduce a suitable class of
upper N $N$ N
-functions and employ the Nehari manifold method together with a nonlinear Rayleigh quotient.
