Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with the nonlinear Helmholtz system of Hamiltonian type \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{l} -\Delta u-k^2 u=P(x)|v|^{p-2}v,\quad \text{in}\ \mathbb{R}^N, \\ -\Delta v-k^2v=Q(x)|u|^{q-2}u,\quad \text{in}\ \mathbb{R}^N, \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} where N3N\geq3, P,Q:RNRP,Q: \mathbb{R}^N\rightarrow \mathbb{R} are two positive continuous functions, the exponents p,q>2p,q>2 satisfy 1p+1q>N2N\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}>\frac{N-2}{N}. First, we obtained the existence of a ground state solution via a dual variational method. Moreover, the concentration behavior of such dual ground state solutions is established as kk\rightarrow\infty, where a rescaling technique and the generalized Birman-Schwinger operator are involved. In addition, we also investigated the relation between the number of solutions and the topology of the set of the global maxima of the functions PP and QQ.
