    On the Schrodinger equation in RNR^N under the effect of a general nonlinear term

    No full text
    In this paper we prove the existence of a positive solution to the equation Δu+V(x)u=g(u)-\Delta u + V(x)u=g(u) in \RN, assuming the general hypotheses on the nonlinearity introduced by Berestycki \& Lions. Moreover we show that a minimizing problem, related to the existence of a ground state, has no solution

    On a “zero mass” nonlinear Schrödinger equation

    No full text
    We look for positive solutions to the nonlinear Schr ̈odinger equation −\varepsilon^2\Delta u − V (x)f'(u) = 0 in RN, where V is a continuous bounded positive potential and f satisfies particular growth conditions which make our problem fall in the so called “zero mass case”. We prove an existence result for any \varepsilon > 0, and a multiplicity result for \varepsilon sufficiently small

    Quasilinear elliptic equations in R^N via variational methods and Orlicz-Sobolev embeddings

    In this paper we prove the existence of a nontrivial non-negative radial solution for the quasilinear elliptic problem \begin{equation*}\label{eq} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\n \cdot \left[\phi'(|\n u|^2)\n u \right] +|u|^{\a-2}u =|u|^{s-2} u, & x\in \RN, \\ u(x) \to 0 , \quad \hbox{as }|x|\to \infty, \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} where N2N\ge 2, ϕ(t)\phi(t) behaves like tq/2t^{q/2} for small tt and tp/2t^{p/2} for large tt, 1<p<q<N1< p<q<N, 1<\a\le p^* q'/p' and \max\{q,\a\}< s, being p=pNNpp^*=\frac{pN}{N-p} and pp' and qq' the conjugate exponents, respectively, of pp and qq. Our aim is to approach the problem variationally by using the tools of critical points theory in an Orlicz-Sobolev space. A multiplicity result is also given

    Ground state solutions for the nonlinear Schrodinger-Maxwell equations

    No full text
    In this paper we study the nonlinear Schrödinger–Maxwell equations −\Delta u + V (x)u +φu = |u|^{p−1}u in R3, −\Delta φ = u^2 in R^3. If V is a positive constant, we prove the existence of a ground state solution (u,φ) for 2 < p < 5. The non-constant potential case is treated for 3 < p < 5, and V possibly unbounded below. Existence and nonexistence results are proved also when the nonlinearity exhibits a critical growth

    Multiple critical points for a class of nonlinear functionals

    No full text
    In this paper, we prove a multiplicity result concerning the critical points of a class of functionals involving local and nonlocal nonlinearities. We apply our result to the nonlinear Schrödinger–Maxwell system in R3 and to the nonlinear elliptic Kirchhoff equation in RN assuming on the local nonlinearity the general hypotheses introduced by Berestycki and Lions

    Locating the peaks of semilinear elliptic systems

    No full text
    We consider a system of weakly coupled singularly perturbed semilinear elliptic equations. First, we obtain a Lipschitz regularity result for the associated ground energy function Σ as well as representation formulas for the left and the right derivatives. Then, we show that the concentration points of the solutions locate close to the critical points of Σ in the sense of subdifferential calculu
