Multiplicity results for fractional magnetic problems involving exponential growth

Abstract

We study the following fractional elliptic equations of the type, \begin{equation*} (-Δ)^{\frac12}_A u = λu+f(|u|)u ,\;\textrm{in } \;(-1, 1),\; u=0\;\textrm{in } \;\mathbb R\setminus (-1, 1), \end{equation*} where $\lambda$ is a positive real parameter and $(-\Delta {)}_A^{\frac{1}{2}}$ is the fractional magnetic operator with $A:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ being a smooth magnetic field. Using a classical critical point theorems, we prove the existence of multiple solutions in the non-resonant case when the nonlinear term $f(t)$ has a critical exponential growth in the sense of Trudinger-Moser inequality.
