Multiple solutions for a superlinear and periodic elliptic system on \({\mathbb{R}^N}\) (Q1938440)

In this paper, the authors consider a periodic Hamiltonian elliptic system where \(0\) lies in a gap of the spectrum to the associated Schrödinger operator. To treat the problem variationally, they build a suitable functional framework taking into account the polar decomposition and the fractional powers of the Schrödinger operator. By adopting the monotonicity trick due to Jeanjean, they show the existence of a ground state solution and the multiplicity of solutions to the initial system.
