Abstract

Given ρ>0, we study the elliptic problem find (U,λ)∈ H10(Ω)× ℝ such that \begincases -ΔU+λU=|U|p-1U ∫Ω U2 dx=ρ, \endcases where Ω⊂ℝN is a bounded domain and p>1 is Sobolev-subcritical, searching for conditions (about ρ, N and p) for the existence of solutions. By the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality it follows that, when p is L2-subcritical, i.e. 10. In the L2-critical and supercritical case, i.e. when 1+4/N ≤ p < 2^*-1, we show that, for any k∈ℕ, the problem admits solutions having Morse index bounded above by k only if ρ is sufficiently small. Next we provide existence results for certain ranges of ρ, which can be estimated in terms of the Dirichlet eigenvalues of -Δ in H10(Ω), extending to general domains and to changing sign solutions some results obtained in [Noris, Tavares, Verzini, Analysis & PDE, 2014] for positive solutions in the ball.
