Normalized solutions for Schrödinger equations with critical Sobolev exponent and mixed nonlinearities (Q2149507)

Under consideration is the nonlinear Schrödinger equation \[ -\Delta u = \lambda u + \mu |u|^{q-2} u + |u|^{2^*-2}u,\ \ x\in {\mathbb R}^N,\ u\in W_2^1({\mathbb R}^N), \] where \(N\geq 3\), \(\mu > 0\), \(\lambda\in {\mathbb R}\), and \(2 < q < 2^* = 2N/(N-2)\). The existence of mountain-pass solutions for \(N \geq 3\) and \(2 < q < 2 + 4/N\) is proven. Existence and nonexistence of ground states for \(2 + 4/N\leq q <2^*\) with large \(\mu>0\) is established. Asymptotic behaviors of ground states and mountain-pass solutions as \(\mu \to 0\) and \(\mu\) tends to its upper bound (in particular to \(+\infty\)) is described.
