  • This paper is devoted to studying constraint minimizers for a class of elliptic equations with two nonlocal terms. Using the methods of constrained variation and energy estimation, we analyze the existence, non-existence, and limit behavior of minimizers for the related minimization problem. Our work extends and enriches the study of bi-nonlocal problems.



    We consider the following elliptic equation with bi-nonlocal terms:

    {(Ω|u|2dx)sΔu+sin2|x|u=μu+(Ω|u|p+2dx)r|u|pu,xΩ,u=0,xΩ, (1.1)

    where s,r>0 and 0<p<, and ΩR2 is a bounded connected domain with a smooth boundary, and (0,0) is its inner point. The functionals (Ω|u|2dx)s, (Ω|u|p+2dx)r are two nonlocal terms, the μ is a suitable Lagrange multiplier.

    In the past few decades, nonlocal problems have gained widespread attention not only in the field of mathematics; but also in concrete real-world applications. To our knowledge, the earliest non-local problem was proposed by Kirchhoff [1], such as the well-known stationary analogue equation

    {utt(a+bΩ|u|2)u=f(x,u)in Ω, u=0on Ω, (1.2)

    which is used to describe the free vibrations of elastic string. After this, the nonlocal models similar to (1.2) are also presented by the forms of

    {M(up)Δu=f(x,u),xΩ,u=0,xΩ,

    and

    {Δu=f(x,u)(Ωg(x,u)dx)r,xΩ,u=0,xΩ,

    which arise in several fields: for instance, mechanical phenomena, population dynamics, plasma physics, and heat conduction; see [2,3,4,5,6]. Readers are also advised to refer to their references for more details on the physical aspects.

    In recent years, many researchers have begun to investigate bi-nonlocal problems similar to the elliptic equation (1.1); see [7,8,9] and their references. The existence of various solutions in these papers was established by applying the mountain-pass theorem, concentration compactness principle, mapping theory, genus theory, Ljusternik–Schnirelman critical point theory, etc. Meanwhile, there are many interesting works involving p-Laplacian equations with bi-nonlocal terms, which are described by

    {M(up)Δpu=λ|u|q2u+μg(x)|u|γ2u(Ω1γg(x)|u|γ)dx)2r,xΩ,u=0,xΩ,

    see [9,10,11] and the references therein, in which the infinitely many solutions, non-negative solutions, and multiplicity of solutions are studied by using variational approaches. Besides, it is worth mentioning that Mao and Wang, in their paper [12], have studied the following bi-nonlocal fourth-order elliptic equation:

    {(a+bΩ(|Δu|2+|u|2)dx)(Δ2uΔu)=(Ω1p|u|pdx)2p|u|p2u+λ|u|q2u,xΩ,u=0,xΩ.

    Based on the variational invariant sets of descending flow and cone theory, in [12], they obtained the existence of signed and sign-changing solutions.

    Motivated by previous works, this paper is mainly concerned with the solutions of the bi-nonlocal problem (1.1) with the L2-constraint Ω|u|2dx=1. In fact, a simple calculation shows that the L2-normalized solutions for (1.1) can be obtained by solving the following constraint minimization problem:

    I(s,p,r,β):=infuKJ(u), (1.3)

    where K:={uH10(Ω), Ω|u|2=1} and J(u) is an energy functional satisfying

    J(u)=1s+1(Ω|u|2dx)s+1+Ωsin2|x|u2dx2β(p+2)(r+1)(Ω|u|p+2dx)r+1. (1.4)

    Some recent works involving different kinds of constrained variational problems have attracted our attention. In particular, we notice that for s,r=0,p=2, and β>0 in (1.4), it is a hot research topic related to the well-known Gross–Pitaevskii functional (see[13,14]), which is derived from the physical experimental phenomena of Bose–Einstein condensates. Roughly speaking, when the potential function sin2|x| behaves like the types of polynomials, ring-shaped, multi-well, and periodic, in papers [15,16,17,18], the authors have established some results of constraint minimizers on the existence, nonexistence, and mass concentration behavior under the L2-critical state. Especially for the potential being a logarithmic or homogeneous function [19,20], the local uniqueness of the constraint minimizer is also analyzed.

    In addition, for s=1,r=0,β>0, and the potential function fulfilling suitable choices, (1.4) is regarded as a Kirchhoff-type energy functional, and there are many works related to studying the existence and limit behavior of constraint minimizers for (1.3). More precisely, Ye [21,22] obtained the detailed results of existence and nonexistence for constraint minimizers when sin2|x|=0 and Ω is replaced by the whole space. If the potential is a periodic function, Meng and Zeng [23] gave a detailed limit behavior of the minimizer. Somewhat similarly, there are many works [24,25,26,27,28] involved in the existence, non-existence, and limit properties of constraint minimizers when (1.1) possesses a L2-subcritical or the L2-critical term. Also for potential in the form of polynomials, Tang, Zeng, and their co-workers in [29,30] obtained some results on the refined limit behavior and the uniqueness of constraint minimizers.

    However, as we know, there are few articles studying the bi-nonlocal problem using constrained variational approaches. Inspired by the works mentioned above, in the present paper we are interested in the constrained minimization problem (1.3) with two nonlocal terms. More precisely, we are concerned with the existence, non-existence, and limit behavior of constraint minimizers for (1.3) by using the techniques of constrained variation and energy estimation.

    Before stating our main results, we first introduce the following elliptic equation:

    p2Δw+wwp+1=0,  xR2,0<p<, (1.5)

    and from [31], we know that (1.5) admits a unique (under translations) positive radially symmetric solution wpH1(R2). Secondly, the following equality can be obtained directly by applying the Pohozaev identity,

    wp2L2=wp2L2=2p+2wpp+2Lp+2. (1.6)

    Note from ([32], Proposition 4.1) that the solution wp of (1.5) is exponential decay at infinity, that is,

    |wp(x)|,wp(|x|)=O(|x|12e|x|)as|x|. (1.7)

    At last, a classical Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequality in bounded domains (see [33,34]) is introduced as follows:

    u2+pL2+p(Ω)CupL2(Ω)u2L2(Ω),0<p<, (1.8)

    where C:=p+22wppL2 and wp is given by (1.5). Notice also from [33,34] that the best constant C can not be attained.

    Through a prior energy estimation of J(u), one finds that the related properties of constraint minimizers depend heavily on the exponents s,r,p, and parameter β. Denote β:=(r+1)r+1(s+r+2)r(s+1)wp2(s+1)L2 and we divide s,p,r,β into the following cases for convenience.

    (c1). p<2(s+1)r+1; (c2). p=2(s+1)r+1, 0<β<β;

    (c3). p>2(s+1)r+1; (c4). p=2(s+1)r+1, ββ.

    Based on the notations mentioned above, we next establish the following theorem on the existence and nonexistence of constraint minimizers:

    Theorem 1.1. If (c1) or (c2) holds, then I(s,p,r,β) admits at least one minimizer; If either (c3) or (c4) holds, then I(s,p,r,β) has no minimizer. Furthermore, we have for p=2(s+1)r+1 and any β with ββ, the limββI(s,p,r,β)=I(s,p,r,β)=0.

    Notice that for p=2(s+1)r+1, the Theorem 1.1 presents the fact that I(s,p,r,β) has no minimizer. We care about what happens to the constraint minimizers for any β with ββ, and for this, the refined energy estimation of I(s,p,r,β) as ββ is necessary. In effect, one knows from [15,16,17,18,19] that when potential sin2|x| behaves in the forms of polynomial, logarithmic, ring-shaped, multi-well, and periodic, the key steps in estimating energy are to deal with the potential term. However, since our elliptic equation (1.1) not only contains bi-nonlocal terms, but potential is a sinusoidal function, the techniques in [15,16,17,18] are ineffective for dealing with our problem. Hence, some skills for handling the potential term are constructed in Section 3. Meanwhile, the main result of energy estimation for I(s,p,r,β) as ββ can be stated as follows theorem:

    Theorem 1.2. If p=2(s+1)r+1 and for any β>0, the I(s,p,r,β) satisfies

    I(s,p,r,β)s+2s+1(β)1s+2λs+1s+2(ββ)1s+2asββ, (1.9)

    where λ=1wp2L2R2|x|2|wp|2dx and wp is given by (1.5).

    Remark that the above fg means f/g1 as ββ. According to the result of Theorem 1.2, our last theorem is concerned with the exact limit behavior of constraint minimizers as ββ. In truth, we can always assume that minimizers uβ of I(s,p,λ) are positive due to J(uβ)J(|uβ|) and by applying the strong maximum principle to related elliptic equations. Therefore, we only establish a detailed result on the limit behavior of positive minimizers uβ as β tends to β from below.

    Theorem 1.3. Assume that p=2(s+1)r+1 and uβ is a positive minimizer of I(s,p,r,β), then we have

    1). uβ has a unique maximum point xβ fulfilling

    xβx0as ββ,|x0|=n0πforsomen0Nandx0Ω.

    2). Set ϵβ:=(Ω|uλ|2dx)12 and define a L2-normalized function

    vβ(x):=ϵβuβ(ϵβx+xβ),

    then vβ satisfies

    vβ(x)wp(|x|)wpL2strongly in H1(R2),

    where wp is given by (1.5). Further, the ϵβ satisfies as ββ

    ϵβ(βλ)12(s+2)(ββ)12(s+2).

    Comment that the limit behavior of constraint minimizers in our paper is quite different from these conclusions in [15,16,17,18,19]. Although the sinusoidal potential sin2|x| may attain its minimum at an inner point or some boundary point of Ω, one can rule out the case of minimizers blow-up near the boundary. Furthermore, we also give a refined blow-up rate of minimizers as ββ, which is mainly determined by the energy power of potential term Ωsin2|x|u2dx.

    We organized the article as follows: in Section 2, the existence and non-existence of minimizers are established by variational approaches and the upper energy estimation of functional J(u). Section 3 gives a refined upper and lower energy estimation of I(s,p,r,β) when p=2(s+1)r+1 as ββ. The proof procedures of Theorems 1.2 and 1.3 are constructed in Section 4.

    This section is devoted to proving Theorem 1.1 on the existence and nonexistence of constraint minimizers for I(s,p,r,β), which is divided into two cases for convenience.

    Case 1. If (c1) or (c2) holds, then I(s,p,r,β) admits at least one minimizer.

    Proof. Assuming that (c1) holds, one then derives from (1.8) that for any uK

    J(u)1s+1(Ω|u|2dx)s+1+Ωsin2|x|u2dx2β(p+2)(r+1)(p+22)r+1wpp(r+1)L2(Ω|u|2dx)p(r+1)2. (2.1)

    If (c2) holds, we also have for any uK

    J(u)[1s+1β(s+r+2)r(r+1)r+1wp2(s+1)L2](Ω|u|2dx)s+1+Ωsin2|x|u2dx=1s+1(1ββ)(Ω|u|2dx)s+1+Ωsin2|x|u2dx. (2.2)

    In fact, one can get from (2.1) and (2.2) that for any sequence {un}K, the functional J(un) is bounded uniformly from below. Therefore, there is a minimizing sequence {un}K such that

    I(s,p,r,β)=limnJ(un). (2.3)

    Since sin2|x|0, it is easy to deduce from (2.1) and (2.2) that Ω|un|2dx is bounded uniformly for n, that is, {un} bounded in K. The well-known Rellich's compactness ([35], Theorem 1.9) H10(Ω)Lq(Ω) for 1q<+, yields that there exists a u0K such that {un} admits a subsequence {uk} fulfilling as k

    uku0 weakly in H10(Ω),uku0 strongly in Lq(Ω), 1q<. (2.4)

    Using (2.4) and weakly lower semi-continuity, one has

    lim infk(Ω|uk|2dx)s+1(Ω|u0|2dx)s+1,

    and for any fixed β>0

    limk2β(p+2)(r+1)(Ω|uk|p+2dx)r+1=2β(p+2)(r+1)(Ω|u0|p+2dx)r+1.

    It then yields that

    I(s,p,r,β)=lim infkJ(uk)J(u0)I(s,p,r,β).

    The above inequality shows that J(u0)=I(s,p,r,β), hence u0 is a minimizer of I(s,p,r,β). We then complete the proof of existence for the minimizer.

    Case 2. Either (c3) or (c4) holds, then I(s,p,r,β) has no minimizer.

    Proof. Since Ω is a bounded connected domain and contains (0,0) as an inner point, there is a finite circular region B2R(0)Ω. Choosing a cut-off function φ(x)C0(R2) satisfies 0φ(x)1, φ(x)=1 for |x|R, φ(x)=0 for |x|>2R, and |φ(x)|2 for xR2. Define a test function

    uτ(x):=Aτ,RτwpL2φ(xR)wp(τx), xΩ, τ>0, (2.5)

    where wp is given by (1.5) and Aτ,R>0 is chosen so that Ω|uτ(x)|2dx=1. Notice that the uτ is well-defined in H10(Ω) for any τ>0. Using (1.7), a direct calculation yields that

    1A2τ,R1+O(τ)and limτAτ,R=1asτ. (2.6)

    The function g(τ)=O(τ) means that limτg(τ)τι=0 for any ι>0. Combining (1.7), (2.5) and (2.6), we obtain

    1s+1(Ω|uτ|2dx)s+1=1s+1A2(s+1)τ,Rτ2(s+1)wp2(s+1)L2(R2|wp|2dx)s+1+O(τ), (2.7)

    and

    2β(p+2)(r+1)(Ω|uτ|p+2dx)r+1=2β(p+2)(r+1)A(p+2)(r+1)τ,Rτp(r+1)wp(p+2)(r+1)L2(R2|wp|p+2dx)r+1+O(τ). (2.8)

    Since 0sin2|x|1 and sin2|xτ||xτ|2 as τ in BτR(0), we hence have

    Ωsin2|x|u2τdxA2τ,Rwp2L2[BτR(0)sin2|xτ|w2pdx+B2τR(0)BτR(0)w2pdx]=A2τ,Rwp2L2[τ2(1+o(1))BτR(0)|x|2w2pdx+B2τR(0)BτR(0)w2pdx]A2τ,Rwp2L2[τ2R2|x|2w2pdx+Ce2τR+o(τ2)]A2τ,Rλτ2+o(τ2)asτ, (2.9)

    where λ=1wp2L2R2|x|2|wp|2dx. Together with (2.7)–(2.9), one derives from (1.4) that

    I(s,p,r,β)J(uτ)=1s+1A2(s+1)τ,Rτ2(s+1)wp2(s+1)L2(R2|wp|2dx)s+1+A2τ,Rλτ22β(p+2)(r+1)A(p+2)(r+1)τ,Rτp(r+1)wp(p+2)(r+1)L2(R2|wp|p+2dx)r+1+o(τ2). (2.10)

    Under the assumption of (c3), we get from (2.10) that

    I(s,p,r,β)J(uτ)asτ,

    which yields that I(s,p,r,β) has no minimizer.

    Assuming that (c4) holds as well as p=2(s+1)r+1, β>β, one derives from (1.6), (2.6), and (2.10) as τ

    I(s,p,r,β)J(uτ)=1s+1[1ββ]τ2(s+1)+λτ2+o(τ2), (2.11)

    which also presents I(s,p,r,β)J(uτ), and hence I(s,p,r,β) has no minimizer. For the other case of p=2(s+1)r+1 and β=β, one can gain from (2.2) and (2.11) that I(s,p,r,β)=0. We next prove that I(s,p,r,β) has no minimizer by a contradiction. Suppose that there exists a ˆuK such that ˆu is a minimizer of I(s,p,r,β). We then derive from (1.4), (2.2), and (2.11) that

    Ωsin|x|2ˆu2dx=1s+1(Ω|ˆu|2dx)s+12β(p+2)(r+1)(Ω|ˆu|p+2dx)r+1=0,

    which gives

    1s+1(Ω|ˆu|2dx)s+1=2β(p+2)(r+1)(Ω|ˆu|p+2dx)r+1. (2.12)

    However, this is impossible due to the fact that the best constant C in (1.8) can-not be attained. Thus, the non-existence proof of the minimizer for I(s,p,r,β) has finished.

    At last, assume that p=2(s+1)r+1 and for any β with ββ. Taking τ=(ββ)14(s+1), one obtains from (2.2) and (2.11) that as ββ

    0limββI(s,p,r,β)J(uτ)1(s+1)β(ββ)12+λ(ββ)12(s+1)0,

    which, together with I(s,p,r,β)=0, gives

    limββI(s,p,r,β)=I(s,p,r,β)=0.

    So far, we have completed the proof of Theorem 1.1.

    In this section, we mainly care about how the energy changes of I(s,p,r,β) for p=2(s+1)r+1 as ββ. To achieve our goals, we begin with the upper energy estimation of I(s,p,r,β), which is stated as the following lemma:

    Lemma 3.1. For p=2(s+1)r+1 and 0<β<β=(r+1)r+1(s+r+2)r(s+1)wp2(s+1)L2, the I(s,p,r,β) satisfies

    lim supββI(s,p,r,β)s+2s+1(β)1s+2λs+1s+2(ββ)1s+2[1+o(1)], (3.1)

    where λ=1wp2L2R2|x|2|wp|2dx>0 and wp is given by (1.5).

    Proof. Repeating the proof procedure in (2.11), we obtain τ

    I(s,p,r,β)J(uτ)1(s+1)β(ββ)τ2(s+1)+λτ2+o(τ2). (3.2)

    Define a function

    f(τ):=1(s+1)β(ββ)τ2(s+1)+λτ2,

    and let f(τ)=0, then we have

    τ2(s+2)=βλ(ββ)1.

    Taking τ=(βλ)12(s+2)(ββ)12(s+2) and putting it into (3.2), we get the upper energy estimation of Lemma 3.1.

    For the sake of estimating lower energy, we assume that uβ is a positive minimizer of I(s,p,r,β) and xβ is its local maximum point. Set a L2-normalized function

    vβ(x):=ϵβuβ(ϵβx+xβ),xΩ, (3.3)

    and ϵβ is defined by

    ϵβ:=(Ω|uβ|2dx)12. (3.4)

    We establish some indispensable conclusions on ϵβ and vβ as ββ, which are described by the following Claims 1–5.

    Claim 1. Denote Ωβ:={x|(ϵβx+xβ)Ω}, then we have ϵβ0 as ββ. Moreover, Ωβ|vβ|2dx=1 and (Ωβ|vβ|p+2dx)r+1s+r+2β(s+1) as ββ.

    Since Ω|uβ|2=1, one can rule out ϵβ by Rellich's compactness ([35], Theorem 1.9). We next shows that ϵβ0 as ββ. If not, then there exists a sequence {βk} with βkβ, such that {uβk} is bounded uniformly in K. Repeating the existence proof of constraint minimizer in Theorem 1.1, one obtains that I(s,p,r,β) has at least one minimizer. However, this is a contradiction due to the Theorem 1.1 presents a fact that I(s,p,r,β) has no minimizer. Thus, we declare that ϵβ0 as ββ.

    In truth, (3.3) and (3.4) just give

    Ωβ|vβ|2dx=ϵ2βΩ|uβ|2dx=1.

    Together with (1.8) and limββI(s,p,r,β)=0 in Theorem 1.1, one further deduces that for p=2(s+1)r+1,

    01s+1(Ω|uβ|2dx)s+12β(p+2)(r+1)(Ω|uβ|p+2dx)r+1=1s+1ϵ2(s+1)βϵ2(s+1)β2β(p+2)(r+1)(Ωβ|vβ|p+2dx)r+1I(s,p,r,β)0as ββ, (3.5)

    which then yields that

    (Ωβ|vβ|p+2dx)r+1s+r+2β(s+1)asββ.

    Claim 2. There exists a finite circular region B2R(0)Ωβ and a constant θ>0 satisfying

    lim infββB2R(0)|vβ|2dxθ>0. (3.6)

    Combining (2.2) and limββI(s,p,r,β)=0 in Theorem 1.1, then we get

    Ωsin2|x||uβ|2dx=Ωβsin2|ϵβx+xβ||vβ|2dx0as ββ. (3.7)

    Since uβ is a positive minimizer of (1.3), it fulfills

    {(Ω|uβ|2dx)sΔuβ+sin2|x|uβ=μβuβ+β(Ω|uβ|p+2dx)r|uβ|puβ,xΩ,uβ=0,xΩ,

    with Ω|uβ|2dx=1. Multiplying the equation by uβ and integrating over Ω, one has

    (Ω|uβ|2dx)s+1+Ωsin2|x|u2βdx=μβ+β(Ω|u|p+2dx)r+1,

    which, together with (1.3), gives I(s,p,r,β)=J(uβ) and

    μβ=I(s,p,r,β)+ss+1(Ω|uβ|2dx)s+1β(s+r+1)s+r+2(Ω|uβ|p+2dx)r+1. (3.8)

    (3.8) and Claim 1 yield that

    μβϵ2(s+1)βr+1s+1as ββ, (3.9)

    as well as vβ fulfills

    {Δvβ+ϵ2(s+1)βsin2|ϵβx+xβ|vβ=μβϵ2(s+1)βvβ+β(Ωβ|vβ|p+2dx)rvp+1β,xΩβ,vβ=0,xΩβ, (3.10)

    where Ωβ:={x|ϵβx+xβΩ}. A fact shows that vβ attains its local maximum at x=0 due to xβ being the local maximum of uβ. Hence, we deduce from Claim 1, (3.9), and (3.10) that

    vβ(0)θ>0as ββ. (3.11)

    Furthermore, we have

    Δvβc(x)vβ0,xΩβ, (3.12)

    where θ>0 is a constant and c(x)=β(Ωβ|vβ|p+2dx)rvpβ. In fact, one can claim that 0Ωβ. If this is not true, then from (3.10) we know vβ(0)=0for0Ωβ, which is a contradiction with (3.11). By applying Theorem 4.1 in [36], one derives from (3.12) that there exists a finite circular region B2R(0)Ωβ such that

    maxBR(0)vβC(B2R(0)|vβ|2dx)12, (3.13)

    where C is a suitable positive constant. (3.11) and (3.13) then yield that

    lim infββB2R(0)|vβ|2dxθ>0. (3.14)

    Hence Claim 2 is holding.

    Claim 3. For any {βk} with βkβ as k, the local maximum sequence {xβk} of uβk has a subsequence (still denoted by xβk) satisfying

    xβkx0ˉΩ,asβkβ. (3.15)

    Furthermore, Ωβ:=limkΩβk=limk{x|ϵβkx+xβkΩ}=R2.

    Because Ω is a bounded domain, {xβk} admits a subsequence satisfying

    xβkx0ˉΩ,asβkβ.

    We next prove that Ωβ=R2. In view of the fact Ωβk|vβk|2dx=1, by passing the weak limit to (3.10), there exists a function 0v0H10(Ωβ) such that

    {Δv0+r+1s+1v0(β)1r+1(s+r+2s+1)rr+1vp+10=0,xΩβ,v0=0,xΩβ. (3.16)

    If x0 is an inner point of Ω, then one has Ωβ=R2 due to ϵβk0 in Claim 1. If x0Ω, we declare that

    lim infk|xβkx0|ϵβk, (3.17)

    which also yields Ωβ=R2. Assume that (3.17) is false, that is, lim infk|xβkx0|ϵβkC. Up to translation and rotation, one might set

    lim infkx0xβkϵβk=y0:=(0,α), (3.18)

    where αR is a positive constant. The (3.18) then gives

    Ωβ=limk{x|ϵβkx+xβkΩ}=R2α:=R×(α,+).

    By (3.16), one has

    {Δv0+r+1s+1v0(β)1r+1(s+r+2s+1)rr+1vp+10=0,xR2α,v0=0,xR2α. (3.19)

    However, the nonexistence result in [37] shows that v00, which contradicts Claim 2. Therefore, (3.17) is holding, and the proof of Claim 3 is completed.

    Claim 4. For any {βk} with βkβ as k, the xβk is the unique maximum point of uβk as well as vβk fulfills

    limkvβk=wp(|x|)wpL2stronglyin H1(R2). (3.20)

    Using Claim 3 and (3.19), we have

    Δv0+r+1s+1v0(β)1r+1(s+r+2s+1)rr+1vp+10=0,in R2. (3.21)

    After this, one can say that v0>0 by applying the strong maximum principle. Taking p=2(s+1)r+1 in (1.5), it then gives a fact that the v0 (under rescaling) behaves like

    v0(x)=1wpL2wp(|xy0|),

    for some y0R2 and v022=1. Applying the Hölder and Sobolev inequalities, we know that

    uLqCuγL2u1γH1,

    for any uH1(R2) with q(2,) and γ(0,1), which then yields that vβkv0 strongly in Lq(R2) with q[2,) as k. One therefore concludes from (3.10) and (3.21) that

    limkvβk2L2=v02L2. (3.22)

    Because sin2|ϵβkx+xβk| is locally Lipschitz continuous in Ωβk, by the method of proving Theorem 1.2 in [17], one then deduces from (3.10) that vβkC2,αloc(Ωβk), α(0,1). Therefore, we have v0C2loc(R2), and v0 fulfills

    vβkv0inC2loc(R2)ask. (3.23)

    A well-known result is that the solution wp of (1.5) admits 0 as its unique (up to translations) critical point, which then yields from (3.23) that 0 is a unique critical point of v0. Therefore,

    v0(x)=1wpL2wp(|x|). (3.24)

    In view of (3.20) and Claim 2, we know vβk0 uniformly in k as |x|, which then yields that local maximum points of vβk stay in a finite circular region Bγ(0). Taking γ small enough, it thus infers from Lemma 4.2 in [38] that 0 is the unique critical point of vβk for k large enough. The above conclusion, together with (3.3), gives that xβk is the unique maximum point of uβk as k. We thus complete the proof of Claim 4.

    Claim 5. For any {βk} with βkβ as k, the unique maximum point xβk of uβk satisfies

    xβkx0as βkβ,|x0|=n0πfor somen0Nandx0Ω.

    If |x0|nπ for any nN, then sin2|x0|>0. By applying Claim 2 and Fatou's lemma, there exists a positive constant E such that

    lim infkΩβksin2|ϵβkx+xβk||vβk(x)|2dxB2R(0)lim infksin2|ϵβkx+xβk||vβk(x)|2dxE>0,

    which is a contradiction with (3.7). Thus, there exists a n0N such that |x0|=n0π.

    In the following part, we shall prove x0Ω, which comes true by establishing a contradiction. In point of fact, we may assume that (0,0)x0Ω due to (0,0) being an inner point of Ω. For any {βk} with βkβ as k, we first claim that

    lim infk|x0||xβk|ϵβk=lim infkn0π|xβk|ϵβk(n00). (3.25)

    Set

    xβk:=(xβ1,k,xβ2,k)andx0:=(m1,m2)Ω,

    where m1 and m2 satisfy

    m21+m22=n20π2for somen0N+.

    Without loss of generality, we only consider the case of m1,m2>0 because the other cases are essentially the same. On basis of xβ1,km1>0, xβ2,km2>0 as k, one easily knows that there exist constants r1,r2>0 and C1,C2 satisfying

    m1xβ1,k=C1ϵr1βkandm2xβ2,k=C2ϵr2βkask. (3.26)

    As a matter of fact, one can show that

    r:=min{r1,r2}<1. (3.27)

    If not, that is, r1 in (3.27), it then follows from (3.26) that there exists a constant M1>0 such that

    lim infk|xβkx0|ϵβk=lim infk(m1xβ1,k)2+(m2xβ2,k)2ϵβk=lim infkC21ϵ2r1βk+C22ϵ2r2βkϵβk=lim infkM1ϵrβk(1+o(1))ϵβkM1, (3.28)

    which contradicts (3.17). Therefore, the above (3.27) holds. By (3.27), one can calculate that there is a constant M2>0 such that

    lim infk|x0||xβk|ϵβk=lim infkn0π|xβk|ϵβk=lim infkn0πm21+m22+C21ϵ2r1βk+C22ϵ2r2βk2m1C1ϵr1βk2m2C2ϵr2βkϵβk=lim infkn0π(m21+m22)(1M2ϵrβk+o(ϵrβk))2ϵβk=lim infkn0πϵrβk(M2+o(1))ϵβk. (3.29)

    Therefore, (3.25) is holding.

    Based on Claims 3 and 4, one further deduces that

    lim infkΩβk|vβk|2dx=R2|v0|2dx=1wp2L2R2|wp|2dx, (3.30)

    and

    lim infkΩβk|vβk|p+2dx=R2|v0|p+2dx=1wpp+2Lp+2R2|wp|p+2dx. (3.31)

    By the fact that sin2|x|=sin2(n0π|x|) for all xΩ, one then deduces from Claim 2 and (3.25) that as k

    lim infkϵ2βkΩβksin2|ϵβkx+xβk||vβk|2dx=lim infkϵ2βkB2R(0)sin2(n0π|ϵβkx+xβk|)|vβk|2dx=lim infkϵ2βkB2R(0)(n0π|ϵβkx+xβk|)2(1+o(1))|vβk|2dxlim infkB2R(0)(n0π|xβk|ϵβk+|xβk||ϵβkx+xβk|ϵβk)2(1+o(1))|vβk|2dxlim infkB2R(0)(n0π|xβk|ϵβk|ϵβkx|ϵβk)2(1+o(1))|vβk|2dx(P12R)2θ, (3.32)

    where R,θ>0 are constants and P1 is an arbitrarily large constant. For p=2(s+1)r+1 and βkβ, combining (1.6), (3.30)–(3.32), and Claim 3, a direct calculation deduces that

    lim infkI(s,p,r,βk)=lim infkJ(uβk)=lim infk[1s+1ϵ2(s+1)βk(Ωβk|vβk|2dx)2(s+1)+Ωβksin2|ϵβkx+xβk|v2βkdxϵp(r+1)βk2βk(p+2)(r+1)(Ωβk|vβk|p+2dx)r+1]1s+1(1βkβ)ϵ2(s+1)βk+(P12R)2θϵ2βkP2(ββk)1s+2, (3.33)

    where P2 is an arbitrarily large constant. However, this contradicts the energy upper bound in Lemma 3.1. Hence, one concludes that x0Ω. So far, we have completed the proof of Claim 5.

    In virtue of Claims 1–5, we next establish the lower energy estimation of I(s,p,r,βk) for any {βk} with βkβ, which can be rendered by the following lemma.

    Lemma 3.2. For p=2(s+1)r+1 and any sequence {βk} with βkβ as k, then there exists a subsequence {βk} (still denoted by {βk}) such that the I(s,p,r,βk) fulfills

    lim infββI(s,p,r,βk)s+2s+1(β)1s+2λs+1s+2(ββk)1s+2, (3.34)

    where λ=1wp2L2R2|x|2|wp|2dx and wp is given by (1.5).

    Proof. Assuming that {uβk} is a positive minimizer sequence and xβk is its unique maximum point. Define ϵβk, vβk similar to (3.3) and (3.4). Repeating the proof procedures of Claims 1–4, we have

    lim infkΩβk|vβk|2dx=1wp2L2R2|wp|2dx, (3.35)

    and

    lim infkΩβk|vβk|p+2dx=1wpp+2Lp+2R2|wp|p+2dx. (3.36)

    Claims 4 and 5 show that there exists an inner point x0Ω such that the unique maximum point xβk satisfying as k

    xβkx0,|x0|=n0πfor somen0N.

    Similar to the calculation of (3.32), one obtains that

    lim infkϵ2βkΩβksin2|ϵβkx+xβk||vβk|2dxlim infkBϵ12βk(0)(n0π|xβk|ϵβk+|xβk||ϵβkx+xβk|ϵβk)2(1+o(1))|vβk|2dx. (3.37)

    Actually, one can declare that n0π|xβk|ϵβk is bounded uniformly as k+. If not, then n0π|xβk|ϵβk as k+, repeating the proof of (3.33), we also obtain a contradiction with Lemma 3.1. Thus, the {βk} exists a subsequence (still denoted by {βk}) such that n0π|xβk|ϵβky0 for some y0R2. It then derives from (3.37) and the definition of λ in (1.9) that

    lim infkϵ2βkΩβksin2|ϵβkx+xβk||vβk|2dx1wp2L2R2|x+y0|2|wp|2dx=1wp2L2R2|x|2|wp(|xy0|)|2dx1wp2L2R2|x|2|wp(|x|)|2dx=λ, (3.38)

    since wp satisfies (1.5) and is also a radial decreasing function. Combining (3.35), (3.36), and (3.38), we have

    lim infkI(s,p,r,βk)=lim infkF(uβk)1s+1(1βkβ)ϵ2(s+1)βk+λϵ2βk. (3.39)

    Set a function

    f(ϵβk):=1s+1(1βkβ)ϵ2(s+1)βk+λϵ2βk, (3.40)

    and f(ϵβk) achieves its unique minimum at

    ϵβk=(λβ)12(s+2)(ββk)12(s+2)ask. (3.41)

    Taking ϵβk into (3.39), it then yields that Lemma 3.2 is holding.

    In light of previous Claims 1–5, Lemmas 3.1 and 3.2, in this section we shall give the proof of Theorems 1.2 and 1.3. For p=2(s+1)r+1 and 0<β<β, we assume that uβ is a positive minimizer of I(s,p,r,β) and xβ being its unique maximum point. Defined ϵβ, vβ the same as (3.3) and (3.4), in the following we begin with the proof Theorem 1.2.

    Proof of Theorem 1.2. Repeating the proof process of Lemma 3.1, one obtains that, when p=2(s+1)r+1 and for any β with ββ, the I(s,p,r,β) satisfies

    lim supββI(s,p,r,β)s+2s+1(β)1s+2λs+1s+2(ββ)1s+2[1+o(1)]. (4.1)

    Hence, the upper energy estimation of I(s,p,r,β) in Theorem 1.2 is holding.

    For the lower energy estimation, similar to the proof of Lemma 3.2, for any sequence {βk} with βkβ, passing a subsequence if necessary (still denoted by {βk}), we obtain that I(s,p,r,βk) satisfies

    lim infβkβI(s,p,r,βk)s+2s+1(β)1s+2λs+1s+2(ββk)1s+2. (4.2)

    In fact, the lower energy in (4.2) holds for any sequence {βk} with βkβ. Argue by contradiction: suppose that there exists a sequence {βk} with βkβ such that (4.2) is not true. Repeating the proof of Lemma 3.2, we also derive that the {βk} admits a subsequence, making sure that (4.2) is holding, which leads to a contradiction. Thus, (4.2) holds for any sequence {βk} with βkβ. Furthermore, one easily knows that (4.2) is essentially true for any β with ββ, that is, for p=2(s+1)r+1 and ββ the I(s,p,r,β) satisfies

    lim infββI(s,p,r,β)s+2s+1(β)1s+2λs+1s+2(ββ)1s+2. (4.3)

    Together with (4.1) and (4.3), we have

    I(s,p,r,β)s+2s+1(β)1s+2λs+1s+2(ββ)1s+2asββ, (4.4)

    which thus completes the proof of Theorem 1.2.

    Proof of Theorem 1.3. For p=2(s+1)r+1 and any β with ββ, repeating the proof of Claims 1–5 in Section 3, one deduces that the vβ fulfills

    limββvβ(x)=limββϵβuβ(ϵβx+xβ)=wp(|x|)wpL2, (4.5)

    strongly in H1(R2) and the unique maximum point xβ satisfies

    xβkx0as βkβ,|x0|=n0πfor somen0Nandx0Ω.

    Similar to the proof (3.41), we obtain that the above ϵβ in (4.5) behaves like

    ϵβ(λβ)12(s+2)(ββ)12(s+2)asββ.

    So far, we have finished the proof of Theorem 1.3.

    In this paper, we have studied the constraint minimizers of the minimization problem (1.3), which is related to the elliptic equation (1.1) with two nonlocal terms. By applying the methods of constrained variation and energy estimation, the existence, non-existence, and limit behavior of constraint minimizers for (1.3) are analyzed. In detail, we first gave the existence and nonexistence results of constraint minimizers for (1.3) according to the classification of s,p,r,β. Secondly, for p=2(s+1)r+1, the refined energy estimation of I(s,p,r,β) is established as ββ. At last, when p=2(s+1)r+1 as ββ, we not only proved that the mass of minimizer concentrates at a minimum point x0 of sin|x| (i.e., sin|x0|=0), but also ruled out x0 being a boundary point of Ω. Besides, one then presented the concrete limit behavior of the positive minimizer uβ as β tends to β from below.

    However, the local uniqueness of the constraint minimizer for (1.3) is hard to deal with as ββ. We will try our best to overcome this problem in future work.
