Nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation in the Bopp-Podolsky electrodynamics: solutions in the electrostatic case

We study the following nonlinear Schr\"odinger-Bopp-Podolsky system $$\begin{cases} -\Delta u + \omega u + q^{2}\phi u = |u|^{p-2}u -\Delta \phi + a^2 \Delta^2 \phi = 4\pi u^2 \end{cases} \hbox{ in }\mathbb{R}^3$$ with $a,\omega>0$. We prove existence and nonexistence results depending on the parameters $q,p$. Moreover we also show that, in the radial case, the solutions we find tend to solutions of the classical Schr\"odinger-Poisson system as $a\to0$.Comment: 30 pages, the nonexistence result has been improve

Nonlinear fractional magnetic Schr\"odinger equation: existence and multiplicity

In this paper we focus our attention on the following nonlinear fractional Schr\"odinger equation with magnetic field \begin{equation*} \varepsilon^{2s}(-\Delta)_{A/\varepsilon}^{s}u+V(x)u=f(|u|^{2})u \quad \mbox{ in } \mathbb{R}^{N}, \end{equation*} where $\varepsilon>0$ is a parameter, $s\in (0, 1)$, $N\geq 3$, $(-\Delta)^{s}_{A}$ is the fractional magnetic Laplacian, $V:\mathbb{R}^{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ and $A:\mathbb{R}^{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^N$ are continuous potentials and $f:\mathbb{R}^{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a subcritical nonlinearity. By applying variational methods and Ljusternick-Schnirelmann theory, we prove existence and multiplicity of solutions for $\varepsilon$ small.Comment: 23 page

Soliton dynamics for the Schrodinger-Newton system

We investigate the soliton dynamics for the Schrodinger-Newton system by proving a suitable modulational stability estimates in the spirit of those obtained by Weinstein for local equations.Comment: 10 page

Ground states for fractional magnetic operators

We study a class of minimization problems for a nonlocal operator involving an external magnetic potential. The notions are physically justified and consistent with the case of absence of magnetic fields. Existence of solutions is obtained via concentration compactness.Comment: 22 pages, minor corrections and typos fixe

Quasilinear elliptic equations in \RN via variational methods and Orlicz-Sobolev embeddings

In this paper we prove the existence of a nontrivial non-negative radial solution for a quasilinear elliptic problem. Our aim is to approach the problem variationally by using the tools of critical points theory in an Orlicz-Sobolev space. A multiplicity result is also given.Comment: 18 pages, 1 figur

On the logarithmic Schrodinger equation

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
