Abstract

In this paper, we consider the existence and asymptotic behavior on mass of the positive solutions to the following system: \begin{equation}\label{eqA0.1}\nonumber \begin{cases} -\Delta u+\lambda_1u=\mu_1u^3+\alpha_1|u|^{p-2}u+\beta v^2u\quad&\hbox{in}~\R^4,\\ -\Delta v+\lambda_2v=\mu_2v^3+\alpha_2|v|^{p-2}v+\beta u^2v\quad&\hbox{in}~\R^4,\\ \end{cases} \end{equation} under the mass constraint R4u2=a12andR4v2=a22,\int_{\R^4}u^2=a_1^2\quad\text{and}\quad\int_{\R^4}v^2=a_2^2, where a1,a2a_1,a_2 are prescribed, μ1,μ2,β>0\mu_1,\mu_2,\beta>0; α1,α2R\alpha_1,\alpha_2\in \R, p ⁣ ⁣(2,4)p\!\in\! (2,4) and λ1,λ2 ⁣ ⁣R\lambda_1,\lambda_2\!\in\!\R appear as Lagrange multipliers. Firstly, we establish a non-existence result for the repulsive interaction case, i.e., αi<0(i=1,2)\alpha_i<0(i=1,2). Then turning to the case of αi>0(i=1,2)\alpha_i>0 (i=1,2), if 2<p<32<p<3, we show that the problem admits a ground state and an excited state, which are characterized respectively by a local minimizer and a mountain-pass critical point of the corresponding energy functional. Moreover, we give a precise asymptotic behavior of these two solutions as (a1,a2)(0,0)(a_1,a_2)\to (0,0) and a1a2a_1\sim a_2. This seems to be the first contribution regarding the multiplicity as well as the synchronized mass collapse behavior of the normalized solutions to Schr\"{o}dinger systems with Sobolev critical exponent. When 3p<43\leq p<4, we prove an existence as well as non-existence (p=3p=3) results of the ground states, which are characterized by constrained mountain-pass critical points of the corresponding energy functional. Furthermore, precise asymptotic behaviors of the ground states are obtained when the masses of whose two components vanish and cluster to a upper bound (or infinity), respectively.
