[Abstract-pdf]
We deal with the multiplicity of weak solutions of the non-local elliptic equation $$ (-\Delta)^s_p u+V(x)\left|u\right|^{p-2}u = g(x, u) $$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$, where $(-\Delta)^s_p$ is the so-called fractional $p$-Laplacian, $V$ is a suitable continuous potential and the nonlinearity $g$ grows as $\left|u\right|^{p-2}u$ at infinity. Our results extend the classical local counterpart, that is when $s=1$.
Keywords: Fractional p-Laplacian, integro-differential operator, variational methods, asymptotically linear problem, resonant problem, pseudo-genus.
