In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions for the following nonlinear fractional elliptic equation:

$ \begin{eqnarray*}(-Δ)^α u=λ a(x)u-b(x)u^p&\ \ \ {\rm in}\,\,\mathbb{R}^N, \end{eqnarray*}$

where $ α∈(0, 1) $, $ N≥ 2 $, $λ >0$, $a$ and $b$ are positive smooth function in $\mathbb{R}^N$ satisfying

$a\left( x \right) \to {a^\infty } > 0\;\;\;\;{\rm{and}}\;\;\;b\left( x \right) \to {b^\infty } > 0\;\;\;\;{\rm{as}}\;\;\;{\rm{|}}\mathit{x}{\rm{|}} \to \infty $

Our proof is based on a comparison principle and existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behaviors of various boundary blow-up solutions for a class of elliptic equations involving the fractional Laplacian.

Keywords: Fractional Laplacian, comparison principle, blow-up solution, uniqueness.

Mathematics Subject Classification: 35J60, 47G20.
