In this work, we establish the existence and multiplicity of weak solutions for nonlocal elliptic problems driven by the fractional Φ-Laplacian operator, in the presence of a sign-indefinite nonlinearity. More specifically, we investigate the following nonlocal elliptic problem: \(-ΔΦ)s u +V(x)u · amp; = · amp; μa(x)|u|q-2u-λ|u|p-2u in ℝN,
u∈ Ws,Φ(ℝN), · amp; · amp; . where s ∈ (0,1), N ≥ 2 and μ, λ>0. Here, the potentials V, a : ℝN → ℝ satisfy some suitable hypotheses. Our main objective is to determine sharp values for the parameters λ> 0 and μ> 0 where the Nehari method can be effectively applied. To achieve this, we utilize the nonlinear Rayleigh quotient along with a detailed analysis of the fibering maps associated with the energy functional. Additionally, we study the asymptotic behavior of the weak solutions to the main problem as λ→ 0 or μ→ +∞.
