Existence of a mountain pass solution for a nonlocal fractional $(p, q)$-Laplacian problem

Abstract

Abstract Here, a nonlocal nonlinear operator known as the fractional $(p,q)$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>q</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:math> -Laplacian is considered. The existence of a mountain pass solution is proved via critical point theory and variational methods. To this aim, the well-known theorem on the construction of the critical set of functionals with a weak compactness condition is applied.
