On Critical Kirchhoff problems driven by the fractional Laplacian

Abstract

We study a nonlocal parametric problem driven by the fractional Laplacian operator combined with a Kirchhoff-type coefficient and involving a critical nonlinearity term in the sense of Sobolev embeddings. Our approach is of variational and topological nature. The obtained results can be viewed as a nontrivial extension to the nonlocal setting of some recent contributions already present in the literature.
