Classification and stability of positive solutions to the NLS equation on the T -metric graph

Abstract: Given

l a m b d a > 0

and

p > 2

, we present a complete classification of the positive

H^{1}

-solutions of the equation

- u^{″} + l a m b d a u = | u |^{p - 2} u

on the

m a t h c a l T

-metric graph (consisting of two unbounded edges and a terminal edge of length

e l l > 0

, all joined together at a single vertex). This study implies, in particular, the uniqueness of action ground states and that, for

p s i m 6^{-}

, the notions of action and energy ground states do not coincide in general. In the

L^{2}

-supercritical case

p > 6

, we prove that, for both

l a m b d a

small and large, action ground states are orbitally unstable for the flow generated by the associated time-dependent NLS equation

i p a r t i a l_{t} u + p a r t i a l_{x x}^{2} u + | u |^{p - 2} u = 0

. Finally, we provide numerical evidence of the uniqueness of energy ground states for

p < 6

and of the existence of both stable and unstable action ground states for

p s i m 6

.
