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 mathbbRn 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 P1,P2,dots,PB, ( ef{ab}) has infinitely many solutions (u1,dots,uN) such that each of these solutions satisfies the same property: for b=1,...,B, upbp+i changes sign precisely Pb times for i=1,...,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 mathbbZp group action index. Our method is robust, also allowing to give the existence of one solution without assuming any symmetry of the coupling.
