on the plane

m a t h b b R^{2}

under general nontriviality, growth and subcriticality on the nonlinearity

.

Review text

Let \(N\) be a positive integer number and let \(I_\alpha:{\mathbb R}^N\rightarrow{\mathbb R}\) denote the Riesz potential of order \(\alpha\in (0,N)\). This paper deals with the study of the following class of Choquard equations \[ -\Delta u+u=(I_\alpha \star F(u))F'(u)\quad\text{in}\;{\mathbb R}^N, \] where \(F\in C^1({\mathbb R},{\mathbb R})\) is a general nonlinearity with subcritical growth. The main result of this paper establishes the existence of a nontrivial ground state solution in the planar case \(N=2\). The basic idea in the proof is to show that a suitable Pohozaev-Palais-Smale sequence is actually convergent to a nontrivial \(H^1\)-solution of the problem. Next, it is established that this solution is, in fact, a ground state. In the final part of this paper, some qualitative properties of the solutions to the considered problem are stated.
