Abstract

We find solutions E:ΩR3E:\Omega\to\mathbb{R}^3 of the problem {×(×E)+λE=EF(x,E)inΩν×E=0onΩ \left\{\begin{aligned} &\nabla\times(\nabla\times E) + \lambda E = \partial_E F(x,E) &&\quad \text{in}\Omega\\ &\nu\times E = 0 &&\quad \text{on}\partial\Omega \end{aligned} \right. on a simply connected, smooth, bounded domain ΩR3\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^3 with connected boundary and exterior normal ν:ΩR3\nu:\partial\Omega\to\mathbb{R}^3. Here ×\nabla\times denotes the curl operator in R3\mathbb{R}^3, the nonlinearity F:Ω×R3RF:\Omega\times\mathbb{R}^3\to\mathbb{R} is superquadratic and subcritical in EE. The model nonlinearity is of the form F(x,E)=Γ(x)EpF(x,E)=\Gamma(x)|E|^p for ΓL(Ω)\Gamma\in L^\infty(\Omega) positive, some 2<p<62<p<6. It need not be radial nor even in the EE-variable. The problem comes from the time-harmonic Maxwell equations, the boundary conditions are those for Ω\Omega surrounded by a perfect conductor.
