Multiple positive normalized solutions for nonlinear Schrödinger systems

subject

description

We consider the existence of multiple positive solutions to the nonlinear Schr\"odinger systems sets on $H^1(\mathbb{R}^N) \times H^1(\mathbb{R}^N)$, \[ \left\{ \begin{aligned} -\Delta u_1 &= \lambda_1 u_1 + \mu_1 |u_1|^{p_1 -2}u_1 + \beta r_1 |u_1|^{r_1-2} u_1|u_2|^{r_2}, -\Delta u_2 &= \lambda_2 u_2 + \mu_2 |u_2|^{p_2 -2}u_2 + \beta r_2 |u_1|^{r_1} |u_2|^{r_2 -2} u_2, \end{aligned} \right. \] under the constraint \[ \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}|u_1|^2 \, dx = a_1,\quad \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}|u_2|^2 \, dx = a_2. \] Here $a_1, a_2 >0$ are prescribed, $\mu_1, \mu_2, \beta>0$, and the frequencies $\lambda_1, \lambda_2$ are unknown and will appear as Lagrange multipliers. Two cases are studied, the first when $N \geq 1, 2 1, 2 + \frac 4N 1, r_1 + r_2 0$ is sufficiently small, we prove the existence of two positive solutions. The first one is a local minimizer for which we establish the compactness of the minimizing sequences and also discuss the orbital stability of the associated standing waves. The second solution is obtained through a constrained mountain pass and a constrained linking respectively.
