Positive solutions for nonlinear Choquard equation with singular nonlinearity (1609.07273v2)

Abstract: In this article, we study the following nonlinear Choquard equation with singular nonlinearity \begin{equation*} \quad -\De u = \la u^{-q} + \left( \int_{\Om}\frac{|u|^{2^*_{\mu}}}{|x-y|^{\mu}}\mathrm{d}y \right)|u|^{2^*_{\mu}-2}u, \quad u>0 \; \text{in}\; \Om,\quad u = 0 \; \mbox{on}\; \partial\Om, \end{equation*} where $\Om$ is a bounded domain in $\mb{R}^n$ with smooth boundary $\partial \Om$, $n > 2,\; \la >0,\; 0 < q < 1, \; 0<\mu<n$ and $2^*_\mu=\frac{2n-\mu}{n-2}$. Using variational approach and structure of associated Nehari manifold, we show the existence and multiplicity of positive weak solutions of the above problem, if $\la$ is less than some positive constant. We also study the regularity of these weak solutions.
