Multiple solutions for fractional Schrodinger equations

Hongxia Shi, Haibo Chen

Abstract:
In this article we study the fractional Schr\"odinger equations
$$ (-\Delta)^{\alpha}u+V(x)u=f(x,u) \quad\text{in }\mathbb{R}^{N}, $$
where $0<\alpha<1$, $N\geq2$, $(-\Delta)^{\alpha}$ stands for the fractional Laplacian of order $\alpha$. First by using Morse theory in combination with local linking arguments, we prove the existence of at least two nontrivial solutions. Next we prove that the problem has k distinct pairs of solutions by using the Clark theorem.
