Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the following nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with Neumann boundary conditions: \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\Delta u+ \lambda u= f(u) & {\rm in} \,~ \Omega,\\ \displaystyle\frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu}=0 \, &{\rm on}\,~\partial \Omega \end{cases} \end{equation*} coupled with a constraint condition: \begin{equation*} \int_{\Omega}|u|^2 dx=c, \end{equation*} where ΩRN(N3)\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N(N\ge3) denotes a smooth bounded domain, ν\nu represents the unit outer normal vector to Ω\partial \Omega, cc is a positive constant, and λ\lambda acts as a Lagrange multiplier. When the nonlinearity ff exhibits a general mass supercritical growth at infinity, we establish the existence of normalized solutions, which are not necessarily positive solutions and can be characterized as mountain pass type critical points of the associated constraint functional. Our approach provides a uniform treatment of various nonlinearities, including cases such as f(u)=up2uf(u)=|u|^{p-2}u, uq2u+up2u|u|^{q-2}u+ |u|^{p-2}u, and uq2u+up2u-|u|^{q-2}u+|u|^{p-2}u, where 2<q<2+4N<p<22<q<2+\frac{4}{N}<p< 2^*. The result is obtained through a combination of a minimax principle with Morse index information for constrained functionals and a novel blow-up analysis for the NLS equation under Neumann boundary conditions.
