Abstract

In this paper we investigate the existence of solutions in H1(RN) × H1(RN) for nonlinear Schrödinger systems of the form \ \beginaligned -Δu1 = λ1 u1 + μ1 |u1|p1 -2u1 + r1β|u1|r1-2u1|u2|r2,
-Δu2 = λ2 u2 + μ2 |u2|p2 -2u2 + r2 β|u1|r1|u2|r2 -2u2, \endaligned . under the constraints ∫RN|u1|2 dx = a1>0, ∫RN|u2|2 dx = a2>0. Here N ≥ 1, β>0, μi >0, ri >1, 2 <pi < 2 + (4)/(N) for i=1,2 and r1 + r2 < 2 + (4)/(N). This problem is motivated by the search of standing waves for an evolution problem appearing in several physical models. Our solutions are obtained as constrained global minimizers of an associated functional. Note that in the system λ1 and λ2 are unknown and will correspond to the Lagrange multipliers. Our main result is the precompactness of the minimizing sequences, up to translation, and as a consequence we obtain the orbital stability of the standing waves associated to the set of minimizers.
