Existence of solutions for a modified nonlinear Schrödinger system (Q364375)

Summary: We are concerned with the following modified nonlinear Schrödinger system: \(-\Delta u + u - (1/2)u\Delta(u^2) = (2\alpha/(\alpha + \beta))|u|^{\alpha - 2}|v|^\beta u\), \(x \in \Omega\), \(-\Delta v + v - (1/2)v\Delta(v^2) = (2\beta/(\alpha + \beta))|u|^\alpha|v|^{\beta - 2}v\), \(x \in \Omega\), \(u = 0\), \(v = 0\), \(x \in \partial \Omega\), where \(\alpha > 2\), \(\beta > 2\), \(\alpha + \beta < 2 \cdot 2^\ast\), \(2^\ast = 2N/(N - 2)\) is the critical Sobolev exponent, and \(\Omega \subset \mathbb R^N (N \geq 3)\) is a bounded smooth domain. By using the perturbation method, we establish the existence of both positive and negative solutions for this system.
