The fibering method approach for a non-linear Schrödinger equation coupled with the electromagnetic field (Q2192679)

The paper is concerned with the Schrödinger-Bopp-Podolsky system in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) \[\left\{\begin{array}{l} -\Delta u+\omega u+q^2 \phi u=|u|^{p-2}u,\\ -\Delta \phi+a^2\Delta^2\phi=4\pi u^2, \end{array}\right.\tag{1}\] where \(\omega>0\), \(a\ge 0\), \(p\in (2,3]\) and \(q>0\). By using the fibering method, the authors prove that system (1) has no nontrivial solutions for \(q\) large, and it has two radial solutions for \(q\) small. Some qualitative properties for the energy level of solutions and variational characterizations of the extremal values of \(q\) are also presented.
