Compact embeddings for weighted fractional Sobolev spaces and applications to Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations

Abstract

The aim of this work is to prove a compact embedding for a weighted fractional Sobolev spaces. As an application, we use this embedding to prove, via variational methods, the existence of solutions for the following Schrödinger equation $$(-\Delta {)}^{s}u+V(|x|)u=K(|x|)f(u),\text{ in }{\mathbb{R}}^N,$$ where the two measurable functions $K>0$ and $V\ge 0$ could vanish at infinity.
