In this paper, we consider the following fractional Schrödinger–Poisson problem:
(−△)su+V(x)u+K(x)ϕ(x)u=f(x,u),1emx∈double-struckR3,(−△)tϕ=K(x)u2,1emx∈double-struckR3,
where s,t∈(0,1],4s+2t>3,V(x),K(x), and f(x,u) are periodic or asymptotically periodic in x. We use the non‐Nehari manifold approach to establish the existence of the Nehari‐type ground state solutions in two cases: the periodic one and the asymptotically periodic case, by introducing weaker conditions
lim|τ|→∞∫0τf(x,ξ)normaldξ|τ|σ=∞ uniformly in
x∈double-struckR3 with
σ:=max{3,4−2t} and
f(x,τ)τ3−f(x,kτ)(kτ)3sign(1−k)+θ0V(x)|1−k2|(kτ)2⩾0,∀x∈R3,k>0,τ≠0
with constant θ0∈(0,1), instead of
lim|τ|→∞∫0τf(x,ξ)normaldξ|τ|4=∞ uniformly in
x∈double-struckR3 and the usual Nehari‐type monotonic condition on f(x,τ)/|τ|3. Our results unify both asymptotically cubic or super‐cubic nonlinearities, which are new even for s=t=1. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
