Abstract

In this paper we consider the existence and multiplicity of weak solutions for the following class of fractional elliptic problem

$ \begin{equation} \begin{cases} (-\Delta)^{\frac{1}{2}}u + u = Q(x)f(u)\;\;\mbox{in}\;\;\mathbb{R} \setminus (a, b)\\ \mathcal{N}_{1/2}u(x) = 0\;\;\qquad \qquad \quad \mbox{in}\;\;(a, b), \end{cases} \end{equation} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (0.1) $

where $ a, b\in \mathbb{R} $ with $ a<b $, $ (-\Delta)^{\frac{1}{2}} $ denotes the fractional Laplacian operator and $ \mathcal{N}_{1/2} $ is the nonlocal operator that describes the Neumann boundary condition, which is given by

$ \mathcal{N}_{1/2}u(x) = \frac{1}{\pi} \int_{\mathbb{R}\setminus (a, b)} \frac{u(x) - u(y)}{|x-y|^{2}}dy, \;\;x\in [a, b]. $
