  • In this paper we consider the following system of coupled biharmonic Schrödinger equations

     {Δ2u+λ1u=u3+βuv2,Δ2v+λ2v=v3+βu2v,

    where (u,v)H2(RN)×H2(RN), 1N7, λi>0(i=1,2) and β denotes a real coupling parameter. By Nehari manifold method and concentration compactness theorem, we prove the existence of ground state solution for the coupled system of Schrödinger equations.

  • In this paper we consider the following system of coupled biharmonic Schrödinger equations

     {Δ2u+λ1u=u3+βuv2,Δ2v+λ2v=v3+βu2v,

    where (u,v)H2(RN)×H2(RN), 1N7, λi>0(i=1,2) and β denotes a real coupling parameter. By Nehari manifold method and concentration compactness theorem, we prove the existence of ground state solution for the coupled system of Schrödinger equations. Previous results on ground state solutions are obtained in radially symmetric Sobolev space H2r(RN)×H2r(RN). When β satisfies some conditions, we prove the existence of ground state solution in the whole space H2(RN)×H2(RN).



    In this paper, we consider the existence of standing waves for the following coupled system of biharmonic Schrödinger equations

    {itE12E1+|E1|2E1+β|E2|2E1=0,itE22E2+|E2|2E2+β|E1|2E2=0, (1.1)

    where E1=E1(x,t)C, E2=E2(x,t)C and β is a constant. This system describes the interaction of two short dispersive waves. By standing waves we mean solutions of type

    (E1(x,t),E2(x,t))=(eiλ1tu(x),eiλ2tv(x)), (1.2)

    where u,v are real functions. This leads us to study the following biharmonic Schrödinger system

    {Δ2u+λ1u=u3+βuv2,Δ2v+λ2v=v3+βu2v, (1.3)

    where (u,v)H2(RN)×H2(RN). In this paper we assume that 1N7,λi>0(i=1,2) and β is a coupling parameter.

    In order to describe wave propagation, some models with higher-order effects and variable coefficients, such as the third-, fourth- and fifth-order dispersions, self-steepening and symmetric perturbations, have been proposed in physical literatures (see e.g.[26]). Karpman investigated the stability of the soliton solutions for fourth-order nonlinear Schrödinger equations (see [13,14]). To understand the differences between second and fourth order dispersive equations, one can refer to [11].

    Physically, the interaction of the long and short waves can be described by a system of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger and Korteweg-de Vries equations. Recently, a fourth-order version of such system was considered by P. Alvarez-Caudevilla and E. Colorado [5]. Using the method of Nehari manifold, they proved the existence of ground state in radially symmetric space H2r(RN)×H2r(RN). In their proof, the compact embedding of radially symmetric function space is essential. A natural problem is whether there exists a ground state in the Sobolev space H2(RN)×H2(RN).

    On the other hand, the second order counterparts of (1.1) and (1.3) are respectively

    {itE1E1+|E1|2E1+βE1|E2|2=0,itE2E2+|E2|2E2+β|E1|2E2=0. (1.4)

    and

    {Δu+λ1u=u3+βuv2,Δv+λ2v=v3+βu2v. (1.5)

    Since pioneering works of [2,3,4,18,19,22], system (1.5) and its extensions to more general second order elliptic systems have been extensively studied by many authors, e.g. [8,9,12,21,23]. For the similar problem for fractional order elliptic system, one can refer to [7,10,25].

    Motivated by the above developments, using techniques of variation principle and concentration-compactness lemma, we consider the existence of ground state for system (1.3). By ground state, we mean a nontrivial least energy solution of the system.

    We organize the paper as follows. In Section 2, we give some notations, elementary results and statements of our main theorems. In Section 3, we study some properties of Palais-Smale sequence. In Section 4, we give the proof of our main theorems.

    In H2(RN), we define the following norm:

    u,vi:=RN(ΔuΔv+λiuv),u2i:=u,ui,i=1,2. (2.1)

    For uLp(RN), we set |u|p=(RN|u|p)1p for 1p<. Accordingly, the inner product and induced norm on

    H:=H2(RN)×H2(RN).

    are given by

    (u,v),(ξ,η)=RN(ΔuΔξ+ΔvΔη+λ1uξ+λ2vη),(u,v)2=u21+v22. (2.2)

    The energy functional associated with system (1.3) is

    Φ(u)=12u21+12v2214RN(u4+v4)12βRNu2v2. (2.3)

    for u=(u,v)H.

    Set

    I1(u)=12u2114RNu4,I2(v)=12v2114RNv4,
    Ψ(u)=Φ(u)[u]=u2RN(u4+v4)2βRNu2v2. (2.4)

    and the Nehari manifold

    N={u=(u,v)H{(0,0)}:Ψ(u)=0}.

    Remark 2.1. (see [1,5,16])

    Let

     2={2NN4,ifN>4,,if1N4.

    Then we have the following Sobolev embedding:

    H2(RN)Lp(RN),for{2p2,if N4,2p<2,if N=4.

    Proposition 2.1. Let ΦN be the restriction of Φ on N.The following properties hold.

    i) N is a locally smooth manifold.

    ii) N is a complete metric space.

    iii) uN is a critical point of Φ if and only if u is a critical point of ΦN.

    iv) Φ is bounded from below on N.

    Proof. i) Differentiating expression (2.4) yields

    Ψ(u)[u]=2u24RN(u4+v4)8βRNu2v2. (2.5)

    By the definition of Nehari manifold, for uN, Ψ(u)=0 and hence

    Ψ(u)[u]=Ψ(u)[u]3Ψ(u)=2u2<0. (2.6)

    It follows that N is a locally smooth manifold near any point u0 with Ψ(u)=0.

    ii) Let {un}N be a sequence such that unu00 as n+. By Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev inequality and interpolation formula for Lp space, we have |unu0|p0 and |vnv0|p0 for 2p<2. It easily follows that Φ(un)[un]Φ(u0)[u0]0. Since Φ(un)[un]=0, we have Φ(u0)[u0]=0.

    Claim: There exists ρ>0 such that for all uN, ||u||>ρ.

    Since unN for all n and unu00, we get u0(0,0). Hence unNand N is a complete metric space.

    Proof of the claim: Taking the derivative of the functional Φ in the direction h=(h1,h2), it follows that

    Φ(u)[h]=RN(Δuh1+λ1uh1+Δvh2+λ2vh2)RN(u3h1+v3h2)βRN(uv2h1+u2vh2).

    Taking the derivative of Φ(u)[h] in the direction h again, it follows that

    Φ(u)[h]2=h23RN(u2h21+v2h22)βRN(u2h22+v2h21+4uvh1h2).

    Note that [h]2 means [h,h] and h=(h1,h2). Let u=0, we obtain Φ(0)[h]2=h2, which implies that 0 is a strict minimum critical point of Φ. In a word, we can deduce that N is a smooth complete manifold and there exists a constant ρ>0 such that

    u2>ρfor alluN. (2.7)

    iii) Assume that (u0,v0)N is a critical point of ΦN. Then there is a Lagrange multiplier ΛR such that

    Φ(u0,v0)=ΛΨ(u0,v0). (2.8)

    Hence

    0=(Φ(u0,v0),(u0,v0))=Λ(Ψ(u0,v0),(u0,v0)). (2.9)

    From (2.6) and (2.9), we get Λ=0. Now (2.10) shows that Φ(u0,v0)=0, i.e. (u0,v0) is a critical point of Φ.

    iiii) By (2.3), (2.4) and (2.7), we have

    ΦN(u)=14u2, (2.10)

    and

    Φ(u)14ρfor alluN. (2.11)

    Then Φ is bounded from below on N.

    Lemma 2.1. For every u=(u,v)H{(0,0)}, there is a unique number t>0 such that tuN.

    Proof. For (u,v)H{(0,0)} and t>0, define

    ω(t):=Φ(tu,tv)=12t2u214t4RN(u4+v4)12βt4RNu2v2.

    For fixed (u,v)(0,0), we have ω(0)=0 and ω(t)Ct2 for small t. On the other hand, we have ω(t) as t. This implies that there is a maximum point tm>0 of ω(t) such that ω(tm)=Φ(tmu)u=0 and hence tmuN. Actually, since Φ has special structure, by direct computation we can also get the unique tm.

    Lemma 2.2. ([20,page 125])

    Let uLq(RN) and DmuLr(RN) for 1r,q. For 0j<m, there exists a constant C>0 such that the following inequalities hold:

    DjuLpCDmuαLru1αLq,

    where

    1p=jN+(1rmN)α+1αq,jmα1.

    and C=C(n,m,j,q,r,α).

    The main results of the present paper are as follows:

    Theorem 2.1. There exist two positive numbers Λ and Λ+, ΛΛ+, such that

    (i) If β>Λ+, the infimum of Φ on N is attained at some ˜u=(˜u,˜v) with Φ(˜u)<min{Φ(u1),Φ(v2)} and both ˜u and ˜v are non-zero.

    (ii) If 0<β<Λ, then Φ constrained on N has a mountain pass critical point u with Φ(u)>max{Φ(u1),Φ(v2)}.

    The definitions of Λ+,Λ,u1 and v2 will be given in section 4.

    Let

    c=infNΦ(u).

    Lemma 3.1. There exists a bounded sequence un=(un,vn)N such that Φ(un)c and Φ(un)0 as n+.

    Proof. From Proposition 1, Φ is bounded from below on N. By Ekeland's variational principle [24], we obtain a sequence unN satisfying

    Φ(un)infNΦ(u)+1n,Φ(u)Φ(un)1nunufor anyuN. (3.1)

    Since

    c+1nΦ(un)=14un2, (3.2)

    there exists C>0 such that

    un2C. (3.3)

    For any (y,z)H with (y,z)1, denote

    Fn(s,t)=Φ(un+sy+tun,vn+sz+tvn)(un+sy+tun,vn+sz+tvn). (3.4)

    Obviously, Fn(0,0)=Φ(un,vn)(un,vn)=0 and

    Fnt(0,0)=(Ψ(un,vn),(un,vn))=2un2<0. (3.5)

    Using the implicit function theorem, we get a C1 function tn(s):(δn,δn)R such that tn(0)=0 and

    Fn(s,tn(s))=0,s(δn,δn). (3.6)

    Differentiating Fn(s,tn(s)) in s at s=0, we have

    Fns(0,0)+Fnt(0,0)tn(0)=0. (3.7)

    From (2.4) and (2.7), it follows that

    |Fnt(0,0)|=|(Ψ(un,vn),(un,vn))|=2||un2>2ρ. (3.8)

    By Hölder's inequality and Sobolev type embedding theorem, it yields

    |Fns(0,0)|=|(Ψ(un,vn),(y,z))||2((un,vn),(y,z))|+|4RN(u3ny+v3nz)|+|4βRN(unv2ny+u2nvnz)|C1. (3.9)

    From (3.7)–(3.9), we obtain

    |tn(0)|C2. (3.10)

    Let

    (¯y,¯z)n,s=s(y,z)+tn(s)(un,vn),(y,z)n,s=(un,vn)+(¯y,¯z)n,s. (3.11)

    In view of (3.1), we have

    |Φ(y,z)n,sΦ(un,vn)|1n(¯y,¯z)n,s. (3.12)

    Applying a Taylor expansion on the left side of (3.12), we deduce that

    Φ(y,z)n,sΦ(un,vn)=(Φ(un,vn),(¯y,¯z)n,s)+r(n,s)=(Φ(un,vn),s(y,z))+(Φ(un,vn),tn(s)(un,vn))+r(n,s)=s(Φ(un,vn),(y,z))+r(n,s), (3.13)

    where r(n,s)=o(¯y,¯z)n,s as s0.

    From (3.3), (3.10), (3.11) and tn(0)=0, we have

    lim sup|s|0(¯y,¯z)n,s|s|C3, (3.14)

    where C3 is independent of n for small s. Actually, it follows from (3.10), (3.11) that r(n,s)=O(s) for small s.

    From (3.3), (3.12)–(3.14), we have

    |(Φ(un,vn),(y,z))|C3n. (3.15)

    Hence Φ(un,vn)0 as n. We complete the proof of the lemma.

    From the above lemma, we have a bounded PS sequence such that Φ(un,vn)0 and Φ(un,vn)c. Then, there exists (u0,v0)H2(RN)×H2(RN) such that (un,vn)(u0,v0).

    Lemma 3.2. Assume that (un,vn)(u0,v0) and Φ(un,vn)0 as n. Then Φ(u0,v0)=0.

    Proof. For any νν=(φ,ψ),φ,ψC0(RN), we have

    Φ(un,vn)νν=(un,vn),(φ,ψ)RN(u3nφ+v3nψ)βRN(unv2nφu2nvnψ). (3.16)

    The weak convergence {un} implies that (un,vn),(φ,ψ)(u0,v0),(φ,ψ). Let KRN be a compact set containing supports of φ,ψ, then it follows that

    (un,vn)(u0,v0)inLp(K)×Lp(K)for2p<2,(un,vn)(u0,v0)for a.e.xRN.

    From [6], there exist aK and bK L4(K) such that

    |un(x)|aK(x)and|vn(x)|bK(x)for a.e.xK.

    Define cK(x):=aK(x)+bK(x) for xK. Then cKL4(K) and

    |un(x)|,|vn(x)||un(x)|+|vn(x)|aK(x)+bK(x)=cK(x) for a.e.xK.

    It follows that, for a.e. xK,

    unv2nφc3K|φ|,u2nvnψc3K|ψ|,

    and hence

    Kc3K|φ|dx|cKχK|34|φχK|4,Kc3K|ψ|dx|cKχK|34|ψχK|4.

    By Lebesgue's dominated convergence theorem, we have

    Kunv2nφdxKu0v20φdx,Ku2nvnψdxKv0u20ψdx. (3.17)

    Similarly, there exists dK(x)L4(K) such that |un|dK(x)for a.e.xK and

    u3nφ|un|3|φ|dK(x)3|φ|fora.e.xK.

    By Lebesgue's dominated convergence theorem, it yields

    Ku3nφdxKu30φdx. (3.18)

    By (3.16)–(3.18), we obtain

    Φ(un,vn)(φ,ψ)Φ(u0,v0)(φ,ψ) (3.19)

    and Φ(u0,v0)=0. Thus (u0,v0) is a critical point of Φ.

    Lemma 3.3. ([24,Lemma 1.21])If un is bounded in H2(RN) and

    supzRNB(z,1)|un|2dx0asn, (3.20)

    then un0 in Lp(RN) for 2<p<2.

    Lemma 3.4. Assume that {un} is a PS sequence constrained on N and

    supzRNB(z,1)|un|2dx=supzRN(B(z,1)|un|2dx+B(z,1)|vn|2dx)0. (3.21)

    Then un0.

    Proof. Since {un}N and thus

    un=RN(u4n+v4n)+2βRNu2nv2n.

    From Lemma 3.3, we have that un0,vn0 in Lp(RN) for 2<p<2. By Hölder's inequality, it follows that

    RN(u4n+v4n)+2βRNu2nv2n0,

    and hence un0.

    System (1.3) has two kinds of semi-trivial solutions of the form (u,0) and (0,v). So we take u1=(U1,0) and v2=(0,V2), where U1 and V2 are respectively ground state solutions of the equations

    2f+λif=f3,i=1,2

    in H2(RN) which are radially symmetric(see [15]). Moreover, if we denote w a ground state solution of (4.1)

    2w+w=w3, (4.1)

    by scaling we have

    U1(x)=λ1w(4λ1x),V2(x)=λ2w(4λ2x). (4.2)

    Thus two kinds of semi-trivial solutions of (1.3) are respectively u1=(U1,0) and v2=(0,V2).

    Definition 4.1. We define the two constants related to U1 and V2 as follows:

    S21:=infφH2(RN){0}φ22RNU21φ2,S22:=infφH2(RN){0}φ21RNV22φ2, (4.3)

    and

    Λ+=max{S21,S22}, Λ=min{S21,S22}.

    Proposition 4.1. i). If 0<β<Λ, then u1,v2 are strict local minimum elements of Φ constrained on N.

    ii). If β>Λ+, then u1,v2 are saddle points of Φ constrained on N. Moreover

    infNΦ(u)<min{Φ(u1),Φ(v2)}, (4.4)

    Proof. Since the proof is similar to [5], we omit it.

    Next, we will see that the infimum of Φ constrained on the Nehari manifold N is attained under appropriate parameter conditions. We also give the existence of a mountain pass critical point.

    Proof. We first give the proof of Theorem 2.1 (i).

    By Lemma 3, there exists a bounded PS sequence {un}N of Φ, i.e.

    Φ(un)c:=infNΦandΦN(un)0.

    We can assume that the sequence {un} possesses a subsequence such that

    un˜uinH,un˜uinLploc(RN)×Lploc(RN)for2p<2,un˜ufor a.e.xRN.

    Suppose that

    supzRNB(z,1)|un|2dx=supzRN(B(z,1)|un|2dx+B(z,1)|vn|2dx)0.

    From Lemma 3.4, we have un0. This contradicts with unN. In view of Lions' Lemma, there exists ynRN such that

    lim infnB(yn,1)|un|2dx>δorlim infnB(yn,1)|vn|2dx>δ.

    Without loss of generality, we assume that

    lim infnB(yn,1)|un|2dx>δ.

    For each ynRN, we can find znZN such that B(yn,1)B(zn,1+N), and thus

    lim infnB(zn,1+N)|un|2dxlim infnB(yn,1)|un|2dx>δ. (4.5)

    If zn is bounded in ZN, by un˜u in L2loc(RN), it follows that ˜u0. We assume that zn is unbounded in ZN. Define ¯un=un(+zn) and ¯vn=vn(+zn). For any compact set K, up to a subsequence, we have

    ¯un¯uinH,¯un¯uinLp(K)×Lp(K)for2p<2,¯un¯ufor a.e.xRN,

    where ¯u=(¯u,¯v). From (4.5), we have that

    lim infnB(0,1+N)|¯un|2dx>δ,

    and thus ¯u=(¯u,¯v)(0,0).

    From Lemmas 3.1 and 3.2, we notice that ¯un,¯uN and un is PS sequence for Φ on N. Moreover, by Fatou's Lemma, we obtain the following:

    c=lim infnΦ(un)=lim infnΦN(un)ΦN(¯u)=Φ(¯u).

    Hence Φ(¯u,¯v)=c and (¯u,¯v)(0,0) is a ground state solution of the system (1.3).

    In addition, we can conclude that both components of ¯u are non-trivial. In fact, if the second component ¯v0, then ¯u=(¯u,0). So ¯u=(¯u,0) is the non-trivial solution of the system (1.3). Hence, we have

    I1(¯u)=Φ(¯u)<Φ(u1)=I1(U1).

    However, this is a contradiction due to the fact that U1 is a ground state solution of 2u+λu=u3. Similarly, we conclude that the first component ¯u0. From Proposition 4.1-(ii) and β>Λ+, we have

    Φ(¯u)<min{Φ(u1),Φ(v2)}. (4.6)

    Next we give the proof of Theorem 2.1 (ii).

    From Proposition 4.1-(i), we obtain that u1,v2 are strict local minima Φ of on N. Under this condition, we are able to apply the mountain pass theorem to Φ on N that provide us with a PS sequence vnN such that

    Φ(vn)c:=infγΓ max0t1Φ(γ(t)),

    where

    Γ:={γ:[0,1]N|γ is continuous and γ(0)=u1,γ(1)=v2}.

    From Lemmas 3.1 and 3.2, we have that c=Φ(u) and thus u is a critical point of Φ.

    In this paper, using Nehari manifold method and concentration compactness theorem, we prove the existence of ground state solution for a coupled system of biharmonic Schrödinger equations. Previous results on ground state solutions are obtained in radially symmetric Sobolev space. We consider ground state solutions in the space without radially symmetric restriction, which can be viewed as extension of previous one.
