Introduction

Lately, problems involving nonlocal operators and singular terms have recently received considerable attention in the literature. A good amount of investigations have focused on the existence and/or regularity of solutions to such problems governed by the fractional Laplacian with a singularity due to a negative power of the unknown or described by a potential, see for instance, [1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 12] and related papers. A prototype of nonlocal operators is the fractional Laplacian operator of the form (−∆)s , 0 < s < 1, which is actually the infinitesimal generator of the radially symmetric and sstable L´evy processes [6]. Fractional Laplacian operators naturally arise from a wide range of applications. They appear, for instance, in thin obstacle problems [14], crystal dislocation [18], phase transition [30] and others. In this paper, we are interested in the existence and regularity of solutions to the following ∗ Received

so that the identity (−∆) u = F (|ξ| F u), ξ ∈ RN , s ∈ (0, 1) and u ∈ S(RN ) holds, where F u stands for the Fourier transform of u belonging to the Schwartz class S(RN ) (cf. [23]). More details on the operator (−∆)s and the asymptotic behaviour of α(N, s) can be found in [17]. The case s = 1 corresponds to the classical Laplacian operator. If further µ = 0
