Abstract

We study the existence of positive solutions with prescribed L2L^2-norm for the Schr\"odinger equation ΔuV(x)u+λu=up2uλR,uH1(RN), -\Delta u-V(x)u+\lambda u=|u|^{p-2}u\qquad\lambda\in \mathbb{R},\quad u\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^N), where V0V\ge 0, N1N\ge 1 and p(2+4N,2)p\in\left(2+\frac 4 N,2^*\right), 2:=2NN22^*:=\frac{2N}{N-2} if N3N\ge 3 and 2:=+2^*:=+\infty if N=1,2N=1,2. We treat two cases. Firstly, under an explicit smallness assumption on VV and no condition on the mass, we prove the existence of a mountain pass solution at positive energy level, and we exclude the existence of solutions with negative energy. Secondly, requiring that the mass is smaller than some explicit bound, depending on VV, and that VV is not too small in a suitable sense, we find two solutions: a local minimizer with negative energy, and a mountain pass solution with positive energy. Moreover, a nonexistence result is proved.
