Abstract

In this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity of normalized solutions for the following L2L^2-supercritical Schr\"odinger equation on noncompact metric graph \G=(\V,\E)\G=(\V,\E) with nonlinear point defects \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} u'' = \lambda u & \text{on every }\e \in \E, \\ \|u\|_{L^2(\mathcal{G})}^2 = \mu & \\ \displaystyle\sum_{\e \succ \vv} u'_\e(\vv) = -|u(\vv)|^{p-2}u(\vv) & \text{at every }\vv \in \V, \end{cases} \end{equation*} where p>4p>4, \G\G has finitely many edges, μ>0\mu>0 is a given constant, the parameter λ\lambda is a part of the unknown which arises as a Lagrange multiplier, \e\vv\e \succ \vv means that the edge \e\e is incident at \vv\vv, and the notation u\e(\vv)u'_\e(\vv) stands for u\e(0)u'_\e(0) or u\e(\e)-u'_\e(\ell_\e), according to whether the vertex \vv\vv is identified with 00 or \e\ell_\e. This work complements the study initiated by Boni, Dovetta, and Serra [J. Funct. Anal. 288 (2025), 110760], which addressed only the existence of normalized solutions for the L2L^2-subcritical (2<p<42<p<4) Schr\"{o}dinger equation on metric graphs with nonlinear point defects.
