Normalized solutions for the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation with potentials
Abstract
In this paper, we find normalized solutions to the following Schr\"{o}dinger equation \begin{equation}\notag \begin{aligned} &-\Delta u-\frac{\mu}{|x|^2}h(x)u+\lambda u =f(u)\quad\text{in}\quad\mathbb{R}^{N},\\ & u>0,\quad \int_{\mathbb{R}^{N}}u^2dx=a^2, \end{aligned} \end{equation} where , is fixed, satisfies mass-subcritical growth conditions and is a given bounded function with . The -norm of is fixed and appears as a Lagrange multiplier. Our solutions are constructed by minimizing the corresponding energy functional on a suitable constraint. Due to the presence of a possibly nonradial term , establishing compactness becomes challenging. To address this difficulty, we employ the splitting lemma to exclude both the vanishing and the dichotomy of a given any minimizing sequence for appropriate . Furthermore, we show that if is radial, then radial solutions can be obtained for any . In this case, the radial symmetry allows us to prove that such solutions converge to a ground state solution of the limit problem as .
