    We propose a simple minimization method to show the existence of least energy solutions to the normalized problem \begin{cases} -\Delta u + \lambda u = g(u) \quad \mathrm{in} \ \mathbb{R}^N, \ N \geq 3, \\ u \in H^1(\mathbb{R}^N), \\ \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} |u|^2 \, dx = \rho > 0, \end{cases} where ρ\rho is prescribed and (λ,u)∈R×H1(RN)(\lambda, u) \in \mathbb{R} \times H^1 (\mathbb{R}^N) is to be determined. The new approach based on the direct minimization of the energy functional on the linear combination of Nehari and Pohozaev constraints is demonstrated, which allows to provide general growth assumptions imposed on gg. We cover the most known physical examples and nonlinearities with growth considered in the literature so far as well as we admit the mass critical growth at 00

    In this paper, we prove the existence of a positive ground state solution to the following coupled system involving nonlinear Schrödinger equations: −∆u + V1(x)u = f1(x, u) + λ(x)v, x ∈ R2 −∆v + V2(x)v = f2(x, v) + λ(x)u, x ∈ R2 where λ, V1, V2 ∈ C(R2 ,(0, +∞)) and f1, f2 : R2 × R → R have critical exponential growth in the sense of Trudinger–Moser inequality. The potentials V1(x) and V2(x) satisfy a condition involving the coupling term λ(x), namely 0 < λ(x) ≀ λ0 p V1(x)V2(x). We use non-Nehari manifold, Lions’s concentration compactness and strong maximum principle to get a positive ground state solution. Moreover, by using a bootstrap regularity lifting argument and L q -estimates we get regularity and asymptotic behavior. Our results improve and extend the previous results

    On the logarithmic Schrodinger equation

    Full text link
    In the framework of the nonsmooth critical point theory for lower semi-continuous functionals, we propose a direct variational approach to investigate the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for a class of semi-linear elliptic equations with logarithmic nonlinearity arising in physically relevant situations. Furthermore, we prove that there exists a unique positive solution which is radially symmetric and nondegenerate.Comment: 10 page

    Multiplicity and concentration results for local and fractional NLS equations with critical growth

    Goal of this paper is to study the following singularly perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equation: eps^2s (-Delta)^s v + V(x)v = f(v), x in R^N, where s is in (0,1), N is greater or equal to 2, V in C(R^N,R) is a positive potential and f is assumed critical and satisfying general Berestycki-Lions type conditions. When eps is greater than 0 is small, we obtain existence and multiplicity of semiclassical solutions, relating the number of solutions to the cup-length of a set of local minima of V; in particular, we improve the result in [37]. Furthermore, these solutions are proved to concentrate in the potential well, exhibiting a polynomial decay. Finally, we prove the previous results also in the limiting local setting s = 1 and N greater or equal to 3, with an exponential decay of the solutions

    Existence of positive solutions to Kirchhoff type problems with zero mass

    Get PDF
    The existence of positive solutions depending on a nonnegative parameter lambda to Kirchhoff type problems with zero mass is proved by using variational method, and the new result does not require usual compactness conditions. A priori estimate and a Pohozaev type identity are used to obtain the bounded Palais-Smale sequences for constant coefficient nonlinearity, while a cut-off functional and Pohozaev type identity are utilized to obtain the bounded Palais-Smale sequences for the variable-coefficient case.

    Standing waves in nonlinear Schrödinger equations

    Get PDF
    In the theory of nonlinear Schrödinger equations, it is expected that the solutions will either spread out because of the dispersive effect of the linear part of the equation or concentrate at one or several points because of nonlinear effects. In some remarkable cases, these behaviors counterbalance and special solutions that neither disperse nor focus appear, the so-called standing waves. For the physical applications as well as for the mathematical properties of the equation, a fundamental issue is the stability of waves with respect to perturbations. Our purpose in these notes is to present various methods developed to study the existence and stability of standing waves. We prove the existence of standing waves by using a variational approach. When stability holds, it is obtained by proving a coercivity property for a linearized operator. Another approach based on variational and compactness arguments is also presented. When instability holds, we show by a method combining a Virial identity and variational arguments that the standing waves are unstable by blow-up
