When $V$ and $f$ are periodic in $x_{1},\\ldots, x_{N}$, we show the existence of ground states and the infinitely many solutions if $f$ is odd in $u$. When $V$ is coercive or $V$ has a bounded potential well and $f(x, u)=f(u)$, the ground states are obtained. When $V$ and $f$ are asymptotically periodic in $x$, we also obtain the ground states solutions. In the previous research, $u\\mapsto\\frac{f(x, u)}{\\vert u\\vert}$ was assumed to be strictly increasing, due to this small change, we are forced to go beyond methods of smooth analysis.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-06-08T09:56:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35J60", "35R11", "47J30" ], "keywords": [ "fractional schrödinger equations", "weak monotonicity condition", "ground state solutions", "nonlinear term", "ground states solutions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
