Title: Nonlocal critical growth elliptic problems with jumping nonlinearities
Abstract: In this paper we study a nonlocal critical growth elliptic problem driven by the fractional Laplacian in presence of jumping nonlinearities. In the main results of the paper we prove the existence of a nontrivial solution for the problem under consideration, using variational and topological methods and applying a new linking theorems recently got by Perera and Sportelli in [10]. The existence results provided in this paper can be seen as the nonlocal counterpart of the ones obtained in [10] in the context of the Laplacian equations. In the nonlocal framework the arguments used in the classical setting have to be refined. Indeed the presence of the fractional Laplacian operator gives rise to some additional difficulties, that we are able to overcome proving new regularity results for weak solutions of nonlocal problems, which are of independent interest.
