Positive solutions for nonlinear fractional Laplacian problems

Abstract

We consider a class of nonlinear fractional Laplacian problems satisfying the homogeneous Dirichlet condition on the exterior of a bounded domain. We prove the existence of a positive weak solution for classes of nonlinearities which are either sublinear or asymptotically linear at infinity. We use the method of sub-and-supersolutions to establish the results. We also provide numerical bifurcation diagrams, corresponding to the theoretical results, using the finite element method in one dimension.
