Ground states of nonlocal scalar field equations with Trudinger-Moser critical nonlinearity (Q526136)

The paper deals with the existence of ground state solutions \(u\in H^{1/2}(\mathbb{R})\) of the equation \[ (-\Delta)^{1/2}u+u=f(u)\quad \text{in}\;\mathbb{R}, \] where \(f:\;\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}\) is a smooth nonlinearity with Trudinger-Moser critical growth. The ground states are obtained via minimization techniques over Nehari manifolds.
