Periodic solutions of a Dirac equation with concave and convex nonlinearities (Q2017888): Difference between revisions

The paper addresses a three-dimensional Dirac equation, which includes a scalar linear potential and a combination of two power-law nonlinear terms, which all are periodic functions of the three spatial coordinates, with equal periods. The objective is to prove the existence of spatially periodic stationary solutions of this equation, by means of variational estimates. As a result, the setting for the application of the variational method is established, and the existence of two sequences of periodic solutions is reported, with small and large values of the respective amplitudes.
