Tóm tắt

We study quantitative aspects and concentration phenomena for ground states of the following nonlocal Schrödinger equation $(-{\Delta })^{s} u+V(x)u= u^{2_{s}^{*}-1-\epsilon } \ \ \text {in}\ \ \mathbb {R}^{N},$ where 𝜖 > 0, s ∈ (0,1), $2^{*}_{s}:=\frac {2N}{N-2s}$ and N > 4s, as we deal with finite energy solutions. We show that the ground state u𝜖 blows up and precisely with the following rate $\|u_{\epsilon }\|_{L^{\infty }(\mathbb {R}^{N})}\sim \epsilon ^{-\frac {N-2s}{4s}}$ , as $\epsilon \rightarrow 0^{+}$ . We also localize the concentration points and, in the case of radial potentials V, we prove local uniqueness of sequences of ground states which exhibit a concentrating behavior.
