Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Fractional differential equations are being frequently used in physics, chemistry, biology, probability and finance modelling problems, such as, the ultrarelativistic limits of quantum mechanics, flame propagation, water waves, chemical reactions of liquids and population dynamics, etc. The Calculus of Variations provides a range of tools for the study of fractional differential equations for both mathematical theory and practical applications. The aim of this Special Issue is to present some of the recent developments on the qualitative properties of solutions for variational problems and fractional differential equations. The potential topics concerned with qualitative properties of solutions include, but are not limited to, a priori estimate, existence, non-existence, uniqueness, regularity, symmetry, stability and asymptotic behavior.

In this article, we consider the following fractional (p,q)-Laplacian problem (Δ)ps1u+(Δ)qs2u+V(x)(|u|p2u+|u|q2u)=f(u)+λ|u|r2u, where xRN, (Δ)ps1 is the fractional p-Laplacian operator ((Δ)qs2 is similar), 0<s1<s2<1<p<q<Ns2, qs2*=NqNs2q, rqs2*, f is a C1 real function and V is a coercive function. By using variational methods, we prove that the above problem admits a sign-changing solution if λ>0 is small. Full article

We take a look at the fractional Kirchhoff problem in this paper. Using a variational approach, we show that there exists a ground state solution for this problem. Furthermore, using the approach developed by Szulkin and Weth, we also find that positive ground state solutions exist for the fractional Kirchhoff equation with p=4. Full article

The main purpose of this paper is to show the existence of a sequence of infinitely many small energy solutions to the nonlinear elliptic equations of Kirchhoff–Schrödinger type involving the fractional p-Laplacian by employing the dual fountain theorem as a key tool. Because of the presence of a non-local Kirchhoff coefficient, under conditions on the nonlinear term given in the present paper, we cannot obtain the same results concerning the existence of solutions in similar ways as in the previous related works. For this reason, we consider a class of Kirchhoff coefficients that are different from before to provide our multiplicity result. In addition, the behavior of nonlinear terms near zero is slightly different from previous studies. Full article
