Abstract This paper is dedicated to studying the nonlinear Schrödinger equations of the form $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\triangle u+V(x)u=f(u), & x\in \mathbb{R}^N; \\ u\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^N), \end{array} \right. \end{array}$$ where V ∈ 𝓒1(ℝN, [0, ∞)) satisfies some weak assumptions, and f ∈ 𝓒(ℝ, ℝ) satisfies the general Berestycki-Lions assumptions. By introducing some new tricks, we prove that the above problem admits a ground state solution of Pohožaev type and a least energy solution. These results generalize and improve some ones in [L. Jeanjean, K. Tanka, Indiana Univ. Math. J. 54 (2005), 443-464], [L. Jeanjean, K. Tanka, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 131 (2003) 2399-2408], [H. Berestycki, P.L. Lions, Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 82 (1983) 313-345] and some other related literature. In particular, our assumptions are “almost” necessary when V(x) ≡ V∞ > 0, moreover, our approach could be useful for the study of other problems where radial symmetry of bounded sequence either fails or is not readily available, or where the ground state solutions of the problem at infinity are not sign definite.

AbstractIn this paper, we study the existence of ground state solutions for the nonlinear Schrödinger–Bopp–Podolsky system with critical Sobolev exponent\left\{\begin{aligned} \displaystyle{}{-}\Delta u+V(x)u+q^{2}\phi u&% \displaystyle=\mu|u|^{p-1}u+|u|^{4}u&&\displaystyle\phantom{}\mbox{in }\mathbb% {R}^{3},\\ \displaystyle{-}\Delta\phi+a^{2}\Delta^{2}\phi&\displaystyle=4\pi u^{2}&&% \displaystyle\phantom{}\mbox{in }\mathbb{R}^{3},\end{aligned}\right.where {\mu>0} is a parameter and {2<p<5}. Under certain assumptions on V, we prove the existence of a nontrivial ground state solution, using the method of the Pohozaev–Nehari manifold, the arguments of Brézis–Nirenberg, the monotonicity trick and a global compactness lemma.

In this paper, we dedicate to studying the following semilinear Schrödinger system equation*-Δu+V1(x)u=Fu(x,u,v)amp;mboxin~RN,r-Δv+V2(x)v=Fv(x,u,v)amp;mboxin~RN,ru,v∈H1(RN),endequation* where the potential Vi are periodic in x,i=1,2, the nonlinearity F is allowed super-quadratic at some x ∈ R N and asymptotically quadratic at the other x ∈ R N . Under a local super-quadratic condition of F, an approximation argument and variational method are used to prove the existence of Nehari–Pankov type ground state solutions and the least energy solutions.

AbstractThis paper is dedicated to studying the following Kirchhoff-type problem: $$ \textstyle\begin{cases} -m ( \Vert \nabla u \Vert ^{2}_{L^{2}(\mathbb{R} ^{N})} )\Delta u+V(x)u=f(u), & x\in \mathbb{R} ^{N}; \\ u\in H^{1}(\mathbb{R} ^{N}), \end{cases} $$ { − m ( ∥ ∇ u ∥ L 2 ( R N ) 2 ) Δ u + V ( x ) u = f ( u ) , x ∈ R N ; u ∈ H 1 ( R N ) , where $N=1,2$ N = 1 , 2 , $m:[0,\infty )\rightarrow (0,\infty )$ m : [ 0 , ∞ ) → ( 0 , ∞ ) is a continuous function, $V:\mathbb{R} ^{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ V : R N → R is differentiable, and $f\in \mathcal{C}(\mathbb{R} ,\mathbb{R} )$ f ∈ C ( R , R ) . We obtain the existence of a ground state solution of Nehari–Pohozaev type and the least energy solution under some assumptions on V, m, and f. Especially, the existence of nonlocal term $m(\|\nabla u\|^{2}_{L^{2}(\mathbb{R} ^{N})})$ m ( ∥ ∇ u ∥ L 2 ( R N ) 2 ) and the lack of Hardy’s inequality and Sobolev’s inequality in low dimension make the problem more complicated. To overcome the above-mentioned difficulties, some new energy inequalities and subtle analyses are introduced.

Abstract This article concerns the Hamiltonian elliptic system: $$ \textstyle\begin{cases} -\Delta \varphi +V(x)\varphi =G_{\psi }(x,\varphi ,\psi ) & \mbox{in } \mathbb {R}^{N}, \\ -\Delta \psi +V(x)\psi =G_{\varphi }(x,\varphi ,\psi ) & \mbox{in } \mathbb {R}^{N}, \\ \varphi , \psi \in H^{1}(\mathbb {R}^{N}). \end{cases} $$ { − Δ φ + V ( x ) φ = G ψ ( x , φ , ψ ) in  R N , − Δ ψ + V ( x ) ψ = G φ ( x , φ , ψ ) in  R N , φ , ψ ∈ H 1 ( R N ) . Assuming that the potential V is periodic and 0 lies in a spectral gap of $\sigma (-\Delta +V)$ σ ( − Δ + V ) , least energy solution of the system is obtained for the super-quadratic case with a new technical condition, and the existence of ground state solutions of Nehari–Pankov type is established for the asymptotically quadratic case. The results obtained in the paper generalize and improve related ones in the literature.

AbstractIn this paper, first, we study the existence of the positive solutions of the nonlinear elliptic equations in unbounded domains. The existence is affected by the properties of the geometry and the topology of the domain. We assert that if there exists a (PS)c-sequence with c belonging to a suitable interval depending by the equation, then a ground state solution and a positive higher energy solution exist, too. Next, we study the upper half strip with a hole. In this case, the ground state solution does not exist, however there exists at least a positive higher energy solution.
