Abstract

In this paper, we study the nonrelativistic limit of normalized solutions for the following nonlinear Dirac equation (NLDE) on noncompact metric graph \G\G with finitely many edges and a non-empty compact core \K\K \begin{equation*} \D u - \omega u= \chi_\K\abs{u}^{p-2}u, \end{equation*} under the constraint \G\absu2dx=1\int_\G\abs{u}^2\,dx = 1, where \D\D is the Dirac operator on \G\G, u:\GC2u: \G \to \mathbb{C}^2, the frequency ωR\omega \in \mathbb{R} is part of the unknowns which arises as a Lagrange multiplier, χ\K\chi_\K is the characteristic function of the compact core \K\K, and 2<p<62<p<6. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the nonrelativistic limit of normalized solutions to (NLDE) on metric graphs.
