Existence and Multiplicity of Solutions for Fractional Elliptic Problems with Discontinuous Nonlinearities

The problem (P) can be considered as simplified version of some models arising in different contexts. We employ variational techniques to study the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions of problem (P).
