Abstract: This paper is dedicated to studying the following elliptic system of Hamiltonian type: left{ �egin{array}{ll} -varepsilon^2 riangle u+u+V(x)v=Q(x)F_{v}(u, v), xin mathbb{R}^N,\ -varepsilon^2 riangle v+v+V(x)u=Q(x)F_{u}(u, v), xin mathbb{R}^N,\ |u(x)|+|v(x)| ightarrow 0, mbox{as} |x| ightarrow infty, end{array} ight. where Nge3, V,QinmathcalC(mathbbRN,mathbbR), V(x) is allowed to be sign-changing and infQ>0, and FinmathcalC1(mathbbR2,mathbbR) is superquadratic at both 0 and infinity but subcritical. Instead of the reduction approach used in [Calc Var PDE, 2014, 51: 725-760], we develop a more direct approach -- non-Nehari manifold approach to obtain stronger conclusions but under weaker assumptions than these in [Calc Var PDE, 2014, 51: 725-760]. We can find an varepsilon0>0 which is determined by terms of N,V,Q and F, then we prove the existence of a ground state solution of Nehari-Pankov type to the coupled system for all varepsilonin(0,varepsilon0].


The authors consider the following semiclassical Schrödinger system \(-\varepsilon^2 \Delta u+u+V(x)v=Q(x)F_v(u,v)\), \(x\in \mathbb{R}^N\), \(-\varepsilon^2 \Delta v+v+V(x)u=Q(x)F_u(u,v)\), \(x\in \mathbb{R}^N\), and \(|u(x)|+|v(x)|\to 0\) as \(|x|\to\infty\), where the potentials \(V(x)\) and \(Q(x)\) are two continuous functions on \(\mathbb{R}^N\), \(V(x)\) is allowed to be sign-changing and \(Q(x)\) is positive, \(F\) satisfies some general nonlinear conditions. The main characterization of such a system is that the corresponding energy functional is strongly indefinite. The authors show that, there exists some \(\varepsilon_0>0\) such that the above system has at least one ground state solution for \(\varepsilon\in (0,\varepsilon_0]\) via variational methods.
