Multiple solutions for a fractional Schrodinger equation with potentials

Abstract: This paper is devoted to study a class of nonlinear fractional Schr\"{o}dinger equations: \begin{equation*} (-\Delta)^{s}u+V(x)u=f(x,u), \quad \text{in}: \mathbb{R}^{N}, \end{equation*} where $s\in (0,1)$, $\ N>2s$, $(-\Delta)^{s}$ stands for the fractional Laplacian. First, by using a variational approach, we establish the existence of at least one nontrivial solution for the above equation with a general potential $V(x)$ which is allowed to be sign-changing and a sublinear nonlinearity $f(x,u)$. Next, by using variational methods and the Moser iteration technique, we prove the existence of infinitely many solutions with $V(x)$ is a nonnegative potential and the nonlinearity $f(x,u)$ is locally sublinear with respect to $u$.
