Nonlocal scalar field equations: qualitative properties, asymptotic profiles and local uniqueness of solutions

2018 
We study the nonlocal scalar field equation with a vanishing parameter \[ \left\{\begin{array}{lll} (-\Delta)^s u+\epsilon u &=|u|^{p-2}u -|u|^{q-2}u \quad\text{in}\quad\mathbb{R}^N \\ u >0, & u \in H^s(\mathbb{R}^N), \end{array} \right. \] where $s\in(0,1)$, $N>2s$, $q>p>2$ are fixed parameters and $\epsilon>0$ is a vanishing parameter. For $\epsilon>0$ small, we prove the existence of a ground state solution and show that any positive solution of above problem is a classical solution and radially symmetric and symmetric decreasing. We also obtain the decay rate of solution at infinity. Next, we study the asymptotic behavior of ground state solutions when $p$ is subcritical, supercritical or critical Sobolev exponent $2^*=\frac{2N}{N-2s}$. For $p 2^*$, the solution asymptotically coincides with a ground-state solution of $(-\Delta)^s u=u^p-u^q$. Furthermore, using these asymptotic profile of solutions, we prove the \textit{local uniqueness} of solution in the case $p\leq 2^*$.
