Positive bound states of systems of nonlinear Schrödinger equations (Q2654022)

For a system of nonautonomous nonlinear differential equations \[ -\ddot u(x)+ a(x) u(x)= b(x)f(u(x))+ e(x), \] the author obtains sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions that satisfy the conditions \[ \lim_{|x|\to +\infty} u(x)= \lim_{|x|\to+\infty}\dot u(x)= 0, \] \[ \int^{+\infty}_{-\infty} u^2(x)\,dx+ \int^{+\infty}_{-\infty}\dot u^2(x)\,dx< +\infty. \] Both singular and regular cases are considered. The proof is based on the Leray-Schauder principle.
