Abstract: The tadpole graph consists of a circle and a half-line attached at a vertex. We analyze standing waves of the nonlinear Schr"{o}dinger equation with quintic power nonlinearity equipped with the Neumann-Kirchhoff boundary conditions at the vertex. The profile of the standing wave with the frequency omegain(−infty,0) is characterized as a global minimizer of the quadratic part of energy constrained to the unit sphere in L6. The set of minimizers includes the set of ground states of the system, which are the global minimizers of the energy at constant mass (L2-norm), but it is actually wider. While ground states exist only for a certain interval of masses, the standing waves exist for every omegain(−infty,0) and correspond to a bigger interval of masses. It is shown that there exist critical frequencies omega0 and omega1 such that the standing waves are the ground states for omegain[omega0,0), local minimizers of the energy at constant mass for omegain(omega1,omega0), and saddle points of the energy at constant mass for omegain(−infty,omega1). Proofs make use of both the variational methods and the analytical theory for differential equations.
