Existence of bound and ground states for a system of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger-KdV equations (Q2351830)

The author considers a system of coupled nonlinear equations arising in fluid mechanics in which the two unknown functions may represent a short and a long wave interacting. Depending on the size of the coupling coefficient, the existence of bound and ground states is established. As a consequence, an implication on the existence of non-negative bound states, and also that of positive ground states, is shown.
