Bound states of 2-D nonlinear Schrödinger equations with potentials tending to zero at infinity

From MaRDI portal





The paper addresses a stationary equations of the nonlinear elliptic type in two dimensions, NEWLINE\[NEWLINE -\epsilon^2\Delta u + V({\mathbf r})u = K({\mathbf r})|u|^{p-2}u\exp(\alpha_0|u|^{\gamma}), NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where positive (i.e., repulsive) potential \(V({\mathbf r})\) vanishes at \(r\to\infty\), but no faster than \(r^{-2}\), \(K({\mathbf r})\) is positive, hence the sign of the nonlinearity is self-focusing, \(p>2\), \(\alpha_0 > 0\), \(0<\gamma\leq 2\), and \(\epsilon\) is a small parameter. In the case of \(\alpha_0=0\) and \(p=4\), this is the stationary version of the two-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the critical (cubic) nonlinearity in two dimensions. The objective of the paper is to prove the existence of a positive localized solution to the equation (a bound state), and study its concentration properties. The proof is based on an assumption that the corresponding energy functional has local minimum points.
