Ground states for pseudo-relativistic Hartree equations of critical type (Q2436066)

Summary: We study the existence of ground state solutions for a class of nonlinear pseudo-relativistic Schrödinger equations with critical two-body interactions. Such equations are characterized by a nonlocal pseudo-differential operator closely related to the square root of the Laplacian. We investigate this problem using variational methods after transforming the problem to an elliptic equation with a nonlinear Neumann boundary conditions.
