Normalized solutions for nonlinear Schr\"odinger systems

We consider the existence of \emph{normalized} solutions in $H^1(\R^N) \times H^1(\R^N)$ for systems of nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations which appear in models for binary mixtures of ultracold quantum gases. Making a solitary wave ansatz one is led to coupled systems of elliptic equations of the form $$\left\{ \begin{aligned} -\De u_1 &= \la_1u_1 + f_1(u_1)+\pa_1F(u_1,u_2),\\ -\De u_2 &= \la_2u_2 + f_2(u_2)+\pa_2F(u_1,u_2),\\ u_1,u_2&\in H^1(\R^N),\ N\ge2, \end{aligned} \right.$$ and we are looking for solutions satisfying $$\int_{\R^N}|u_1|^2 = a_1,\quad \int_{\R^N}|u_2|^2 = a_2$$ where $a_1>0$ and $a_2>0$ are prescribed. In the system $\la_1$ and $\la_2$ are unknown and will appear as Lagrange multipliers. We treat the case of homogeneous nonlinearities, i.e.\ $f_i(u_i)=\mu_i|u_i|^{p_i-1}u_i$, $F(u_1,u_2)=\be|u_1|^{r_1}|u_2|^{r_2}$, with positive constants $\be, \mu_i, p_i, r_i$. The exponents are Sobolev subcritical but may be $L^2$-supercritical: $p_1,p_2,r_1+r_2\in]2,2^*[\,\setminus\left\{2+\frac4N\right\}$.
