New existence of multi-spike solutions for the fractional Schrodinger equations

We consider the following fractional Schr¨odinger equation:(-Δ)^(s)u+V(y)u=u^(p);u>0 in R^(N);(0.1)where s ∈(0,1),1<p<N+2s/N-2s,and V(y)is a positive potential function and satisfies some expansion condition at infinity.Under the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction framework,we construct two kinds of multi-spike solutions for(0.1).The first k-spike solution uk is concentrated at the vertices of the regular k-polygon in the(y1;y2)-plane with k and the radius large enough.Then we show that uk is non-degenerate in our special symmetric workspace,and glue it with an n-spike solution,whose centers lie in another circle in the(y3;y4)-plane,to construct infinitely many multi-spike solutions of new type.The nonlocal property of(-Δ)^(s)is in sharp contrast to the classical Schr¨odinger equations.A striking difference is that although the nonlinear exponent in(0.1)is Sobolev-subcritical,the algebraic(not exponential)decay at infinity of the ground states makes the estimates more subtle and difficult to control.Moreover,due to the non-locality of the fractional operator,we cannot establish the local Pohozaev identities for the solution u directly,but we address its corresponding harmonic extension at the same time.Finally,to construct new solutions we need pointwise estimates of new approximate solutions.To this end,we introduce a special weighted norm,and give the proof in quite a different way.
