Hamiltonian elliptic systems: a guide to variational frameworks

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Consider a Hamiltonian system of type [ -Delta u=H_{v}(u,v), -Delta v=H_{u}(u,v) ext{ in } Omega, qquad u,v=0 ext{ on } partial Omega ] where H is a power-type nonlinearity, for instance H(u,v)=|u|p/p+|v|q/q, having subcritical growth, and Omega is a bounded domain of mathbbRN, Ngeq1. The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the several variational frameworks that can be used to treat such a system. Within each approach, we address existence of solutions, and in particular of ground state solutions. Some of the available frameworks are more adequate to derive certain qualitative properties; we illustrate this in the second half of this survey, where we also review some of the most recent literature dealing mainly with symmetry, concentration, and multiplicity results. This paper contains some original results as well as new proofs and approaches to known facts.


In this paper, Hamiltonian elliptic systems with power-type nonlinearities with subcritical growth are considered. In the first part of the paper, the `direct approaches' are overviewed while the functional has no mountain pass geometry. Using the dual method and Lyapunov-Schmidt type reduction, the authors get rid of this difficulty. In the second part of the paper, they show that the dual method is used to prove sign and symmetry results; the reduction by inversion is used to prove sign, symmetry and multiplicity results, while the Lyapunov-Schmidt type reduction is useful in proving concentration and multiplicity results. It is an interesting paper, which is worth reading.
