Abstract
We obtain nontrivial solutions of a critical fractional p-Laplacian equation in the whole space and with possibly vanishing potentials. In addition to the usual difficulty of the lack of compactness associated with problems involving critical Sobolev exponents, the problem is further complicated by the absence of a direct sum decomposition suitable for applying classical linking arguments. We overcome this difficulty using a generalized linking construction based on the Z2-cohomological indexI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
