Small linear perturbations of fractional Choquard equations with critical exponent (Q2656252)

The authors study a fractional Choquard problem involving a pure critical nonlinearity. They show the existence of a high energy solution of the problem, whose associated energy functional satisfies suitable inequalities. In detail, the authors establish a Struwe-type global compactness result for Palais-Smale sequences of the above mentioned energy functional. Before this, they prove some preliminary results and study a limit problem. Then, the authors give some auxiliary results and establish that the problem has at least one positive solution in the case of small perturbations of the potential describing the linear term in the left hand side of the fractional Choquard equation.
