Existence and uniqueness of positive solutions for a class of logistic type elliptic equations in R^N involving fractional Laplacian

Abstract

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions for the following nonlinear fractional elliptic equation: \begin{eqnarray*} (-Δ)^αu=λa(x)u-b(x)u^p&{\rm in}\,\,\R^N, \end{eqnarray*} where $\alpha \in (0,1)$, $N\ge 2$, $\lambda >0$, $a$ and $b$ are positive smooth function in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$ satisfying \[ a(x)\rightarrow a^\infty>0\quad {\rm and}\quad b(x)\rightarrow b^\infty>0\quad{\rm as}\,\,|x|\rightarrow\infty. \] Our proof is based on a comparison principle and existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behaviors of various boundary blow-up solutions for a class of elliptic equations involving the fractional Laplacian.
