Abstract

We are concerned with qualitative properties of positive solutions to the following coupled Sobolev critical Schr\"odinger equations {Δu+λ1u=μ1u22u+ναuα2vβu in RN,Δv+λ2v=μ2v22v+νβuαvβ2v in RN \begin{cases} -\Delta u+\lambda_1 u=\mu_1|u|^{2^*-2}u+\nu\alpha |u|^{\alpha-2}|v|^{\beta}u ~\hbox{in}~ \R^N,\\ -\Delta v+\lambda_2 v=\mu_2|v|^{2^*-2}v+\nu\beta |u|^{\alpha}|v|^{\beta-2}v ~\hbox{in}~ \R^N \end{cases} subject to the mass constraints RNu2\udx=a2\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}|u|^2 \ud x=a^2 and RNv2\udx=b2\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}|v|^2 \ud x=b^2, where, a>0,b>0,N=3,4a>0,\,b>0,\,N=3,4 and 2:=2NN22^*:=\frac{2N}{N-2} is the Sobolev critical exponent. The main purpose of this paper is focused on the mass mixed case, i. e., α>1,β>1,α+β<2+4N \alpha>1,\beta>1,\alpha+\beta<2+\frac{4}{N}. For some suitable small ν>0\nu>0, we show that the above system admits two positive solutions, one of which is a local minimizer, and another one is a mountain pass solution. Moreover, as ν0+\nu\to0^+, asymptotic behaviors of solutions are also considered. Our result gives an affirmative answer to a Soave's type open problem raised by Bartsch {\it et al.} (Calc. Var. Partial Differential Equations 62(1), Paper No. 9, 34, 2023).
