Ground states for fractional nonlocal equations with logarithmic nonlinearity

Abstract

In this paper, we study on the fractional nonlocal equation with the logarithmic nonlinearity formed by \[\begin{cases}\mathcal{L}_{K}u(x)+u\log|u|+|u|^{q-2}u=0, & x\in\Omega,\\ u=0, & x\in\mathbb{R}^{n}\setminus\Omega,\end{cases}\] where \(2\lt q\lt 2^{*}_s\), \(L_{K}\) is a non-local operator, \(\Omega\) is an open bounded set of \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\) with Lipschitz boundary. By using the fractional logarithmic Sobolev inequality and the linking theorem, we present the existence theorem of the ground state solutions for this nonlocal problem.
