Positive solutions for the fractional p-Laplacian via mixed topological and variational methods

We study a nonlinear, nonlocal Dirichlet problem driven by the degenerate fractional p-Laplacian via a combination of topological methods (degree theory for operators of monotone type) and variational methods (critical point theory). We assume local conditions ensuring the existence of sub- and supersolutions. So we prove existence of two positive solutions, in both the coercive and noncoercive cases.
