Abstract: We investigate the structure of nodal solutions for coupled nonlinear Schr"{o}dinger equations in the repulsive coupling regime. Among other results, for the following coupled system of $N$ equations, we prove the existence of infinitely many nodal solutions which share the same componentwise-prescribed nodal numbers �egin{equation}label{ab} left{ �egin{array}{lr} -{Delta}u_{j}+lambda u_{j}=mu u^{3}_{j}+sum_{i eq j}�eta u_{j}u_{i}^{2} ,,,,,,, in W , u_{j}in H_{0,r}^{1}(W), ,,,,,,,,j=1,dots,N, end{array} ight. end{equation} where $W$ is a radial domain in $mathbb{R}^n$ for $nleq3$, $lambda>0$, $mu>0$, and $$. More precisely, let $p$ be a prime factor of $N$ and write $N=pB$. Suppose $$. Then for any given non-negative integers $P_1,P_2,dots,P_B$, ( ef{ab}) has infinitely many solutions $(u_1,dots,u_N)$ such that each of these solutions satisfies the same property: for $b=1,\mathrm{...},B$, $u_{pb-p+i}$ changes sign precisely $P_b$ times for $i=1,\mathrm{...},p$. The result reveals the complex nature of the solution structure in the repulsive coupling regime due to componentwise segregation of solutions. Our method is to combine a heat flow approach as deformation with a minimax construction of the symmetric mountain pass theorem using a $mathbb{Z}_p$ group action index. Our method is robust, also allowing to give the existence of one solution without assuming any symmetry of the coupling.
