Abstract
We study the Choquard equation involving mixed local and nonlocal operators $$-Δu+(-Δ)^{s}u+V(x)u=(\frac{1}{|x|^μ}* F(u))f(u)\quad\text{in }\R^{2},$$ where $s\in(0,1)$, $μ\in(0,2)$, $F(t)=\int_{0}^{t} f(τ)\,dτ$, and $f$ has subcritical exponential growth of Trudinger--Moser type. Under suitable assumptions on the potential $V$ and the nonlinearity $f$, we prove the existence of a least energy positive solution by a Nehari manifold approach. We also establish the existence of a sign-changing solution by means of invariant sets of descending flow. If, in addition, the nonlinearity is odd, then the problem admits infinitely many sign-changing solutions.
