Abstract

We are devoted to the study of the following nonlinear pp-Laplacian Schr\"odinger equation with LpL^{p}-norm constraint \begin{align*} \begin{cases} &-\Delta_{p} u=\lambda |u|^{p-2}u +|u|^{r-2}u\quad\mbox{in}\quad\Omega,\\ &u=0\quad\mbox{on}\quad \partial\Omega,\\ &\int_{\Omega}|u|^{p}dx=a, \end{cases} \end{align*} where Δpu=div(up2u)\Delta_{p}u=\text{div} (|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u), ΩRN\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{N} is an exterior domain with smooth boundary Ω\partial\Omega\neq\emptyset satisfying that RNΩ\R^{N}\setminus\Omega is bounded, N3N\geq3, 2p<N2\leq p<N, p<r<p+p2Np<r<p+\frac{p^{2}}{N}, a>0a>0 and λR\lambda\in\R is an unknown Lagrange multiplier. First, by using the splitting techniques and the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality, the compactness of Palais-Smale sequence of the above problem at higher energy level is established. Then, exploiting barycentric function methods, Brouwer degree and minimax principle, we obtain a solution (u,\la)(u,\la) with u>0u>0 in RN\R^{N} and \la<0\la<0 when RNΩ\R^{N}\setminus\Omega is contained in a small ball. Moreover, we give a similar result if we remove the restriction on Ω\Omega and assume a>0a>0 small enough. Last, with the symmetric assumption on Ω\Omega, we use genus theory to consider infinite many solutions.
