Anisotropic Choquard problems with Stein–Weiss potential: nonlinear patterns and stationary waves

Abstract

Weighted inequality theory for fractional integrals is a relatively less known branch of calculus that offers remarkable opportunities to simulate interdisciplinary processes. Basic weighted inequalities are often associated to Hardy, Littlewood and Sobolev [6, 11], Caffarelli, Kohn and Nirenberg [4], respectively to Stein and Weiss [12]. A key attempt in the present paper is to prove a Stein–Weiss inequality with lack of symmetry and variable exponents. We quantify the defect of symmetry of the potential by considering the gap between the minimum and the maximum of the variable exponent. We conclude our work with a section dealing with the existence of stationary waves for a class of nonlocal problems with Choquard nonlinearity and anisotropic Stein–Weiss potential.
