Abstract

In this paper we consider the following fractional Schrödinger–Poisson system

$$\begin{aligned} {\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} (-\Delta )^s u+u+K(x)\phi (x)u=g(x, u), \quad x\in \mathbb {R}^{3}, \\ (-\Delta )^s \phi =K(x)u^2, \quad x\in \mathbb {R}^{3}, \end{array}\right. } \end{aligned}$$

where \(s\in (\frac{1}{2},1)\) and g(x, u) is asymptotically linear at infinity. Under certain assumptions on K(x) and g(x, u), we prove the existence of ground state solutions by variational methods.
