Positive solutions of Schrödinger equations with potentials G-symmetric and vanishing at infinity
Abstract We study the existence of a positive solution for a class of nonlinear Schrödinger equations $$\begin{aligned} -\Delta u+V(x)u=f(u), \qquad u \in \mathcal {D}^{1,2}(\mathbb {R}^N), \ N\ge 3. \end{aligned}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mtable> <mml:mtr> <mml:mtd> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>-</mml:mo> <mml:mi>Δ</mml:mi> <mml:mi>u</mml:mi> <mml:mo>+</mml:mo> <mml:mi>V</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>x</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mi>u</mml:mi> <mml:mo>=</mml:mo> <mml:mi>f</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>u</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mspace/> <mml:mi>u</mml:mi> <mml:mo>∈</mml:mo> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>D</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>R</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mi>N</mml:mi> </mml:msup> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mspace/> <mml:mi>N</mml:mi> <mml:mo>≥</mml:mo> <mml:mn>3</mml:mn> <mml:mo>.</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:mtd> </mml:mtr> </mml:mtable> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> Here the potential V is symmetric under a group action $$G \subset O(N)$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>G</mml:mi> <mml:mo>⊂</mml:mo> <mml:mi>O</mml:mi> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>N</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> and decay to zero at infinity, and the nonlinearity f , under very mild hypotheses, is asymptotically linear or superlinear and subcritical at infinity, not satisfying any monotonicity condition.
