We study a new family of sign-changing solutions to the stationary nonlinear Schrödinger equation \[ -\Delta v +q v =|v|^{p-2} v, \qquad \text{in}\,{ {\mathbb{R}^{3}},} \] with $2 < p < \infty$ and $q \ge 0$ . These solutions are spiraling in the sense that they are not axially symmetric but invariant under screw motion, i.e., they share the symmetry properties of a helicoid. In addition to existence results, we provide information on the shape of spiraling solutions, which depends on the parameter value representing the rotational slope of the underlying screw motion. Our results complement a related analysis of Del Pino, Musso and Pacard in their study (2012, Manuscripta Math., 138, 273–286) for the Allen–Cahn equation, whereas the nature of results and the underlying variational structure are completely different.

AbstractThis paper is concerned with the following nonlinear Schrödinger system in ${\mathbb R}^3$$$\left\{ {\beging{matrix}{ {-\Delta u + (1 + \alpha P(x))u = \mu u^3 + \beta uv^2,} \hfill & {x\in {\open R}^3,} \hfill \cr {-\Delta v + (1 + \alpha Q(x))u = \nu v^3 + \beta u^2v,} \hfill & {x\in {\open R}^3,} \hfill \cr {u,v > 0,} \hfill & {x\in {\open R}^3,} \hfill \cr } } \right.$$ where $\beta \in {\mathbb R}$ is a coupling constant, $\mu ,\nu $ are positive constants, P,Q are weight functions decaying exponentially to zero at infinity, α can be regarded as a parameter. This type of system arises, in particular, in models in Bose–Einstein condensates theory and Kerr-like photo refractive media.We prove that, for any positive integer k > 1, there exists a suitable range of α such that the above problem has a non-radial positive solution with exactly k maximum points which tend to infinity as $\alpha \to +\infty $ (or $0^+$). Moreover, we also construct prescribed number of sign-changing solutions.

We study the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for the following nonlinear Schrödinger–Poisson equations: where 2 < p ≤ 3 or 4 ≤ p < 6, λ > 0 and Q ∈ C(ℝ3). We show that the number of positive solutions is dependent on the profile of Q(x).

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to study the existence of weak solutions for some classes of hemivariational problems in the Euclidean space ℝd (d ≥ 3). These hemivariational inequalities have a variational structure and, thanks to this, we are able to find a non-trivial weak solution for them by using variational methods and a non-smooth version of the Palais principle of symmetric criticality for locally Lipschitz continuous functionals, due to Krawcewicz and Marzantowicz. The main tools in our approach are based on appropriate theoretical arguments on suitable subgroups of the orthogonal group O(d) and their actions on the Sobolev space H1(ℝd). Moreover, under an additional hypotheses on the dimension d and in the presence of symmetry on the nonlinear datum, the existence of multiple pairs of sign-changing solutions with different symmetries structure has been proved. In connection to classical Schrödinger equations a concrete and meaningful example of an application is presented.

Certain phases are associated with the Kronecker squares and cubes of representations of the finite and of the compact semi-simple groups. These phases are important in giving the symmetry properties of the 1 — jm and 3 — jm symbols of the groups [4; 9]. It is our primary purpose to evaluate these phases.

We prove the existence of radial solutions of concentrating on a sphere for potentials which might be zero and might decay to zero at infinity. The proofs use a perturbation technique in a variational setting, through a Lyapunov–Schmidt reduction.

Abstract(0.1) \begin{equation}\label{eq:0.1} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \displaystyle -\Delta_{\mathbb{H}^{N}}u=|v|^{p-1}v x, \\ \displaystyle -\Delta_{\mathbb{H}^{N}}v=|u|^{q-1}u, \\ \end{array} \right. \end{equation} in the whole Hyperbolic space ℍN. We establish decay estimates and symmetry properties of positive solutions. Unlike the corresponding problem in Euclidean space ℝN, we prove that there is a positive solution pair (u, v) ∈ H1(ℍN) × H1(ℍN) of problem (0.1), moreover a ground state solution is obtained. Furthermore, we also prove that the above problem has a radial positive solution.
