Concentration phenomenon of semiclassical states to reaction-diffusion systems (Q6098123): Difference between revisions

In this paper, the authors consider the following \(2M\)-component reaction diffusion system with a small parameter \(\varepsilon>0\) in \(\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^N\) \[ \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \partial_t u=\varepsilon^2 \Delta_x u-u-V(x)v+\partial_v H(u,v),\\ \partial_t v=-\varepsilon^2 \Delta_x u+v+V(x)v-\partial_u H(u,v), \end{array} \right. \] where \(M,N\geq 1\), \(u,v:\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}^N\to \mathbb{R}^M\times \mathbb{R}^M\), \(H\in C^1(\mathbb{R}^M\times \mathbb{R}^M,\mathbb{R})\), and \(V\in C^1(\mathbb{R}^N,\mathbb{R})\) with \(\|V\|_{\infty}<1\). Under the assumption that \(V\) has a locally trapping potential well and \(H\) satisfies some general conditions which guarantee the existence of ground states of the above system, the authors show that there exists \(\varepsilon_0 > 0\) such that, for any \(0<\varepsilon<\varepsilon_0\), the system has a ground state \(z_{\varepsilon}=(u_{\varepsilon},v_{\varepsilon})\) and \(z_{\varepsilon}\) concentrate around the critical point set \({x\in\Lambda:\nabla V(x)=0}\). This paper generalizes the results obtained in [\textit{Y. Ding} and \textit{T. Xu}, Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 369, No. 1, 97--138 (2017; Zbl 1479.35080)] to more general nonlinearities. The proof of main result is variational, which is mainly based upon a linking-type argument.
