Abstract:
We present new existence and multiplicity results for the mixed fractional $p$-Laplacian equation \[ {\mathcal A}(u) := (- \Delta)_{p_1}^{s_1}\, u + (- \Delta)_{p_2}^{s_2}\, u = f(|x|,u) \] with \[ u \in {\mathcal D}_\text{rad}^{s_1,p_1}({\mathbb R}^N) \cap {\mathcal D}_\text{rad}^{s_2,p_2}({\mathbb R}^N), \] where $s_i \in (0,1)$ and $1 < p_i < N/s_i$ for $i = 1,2$ and $f$ is a Caratheodory function on $[0,\infty) \times {\mathbb R}$ that satisfies a suitable growth condition. Our results are based on certain scaling properties of the operator ${\mathcal A}$ and recently developed variational methods for scaled functionals.
