Existence and symmetry results for competing variational systems

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper we consider a class of gradient systems of type −ciΔui+Vi(x)ui=Pui(u),u1,...,uk>0inΩ,u1=...=uk=0on∂Ω, -c_i Δu_i + V_i(x)u_i=P_{u_i}(u),\quad u_1,..., u_k>0 \text{in}Ω, \qquad u_1=...=u_k=0 \text{on} \partial Ω, in a bounded domain Ω⊆RNΩ\subseteq \R^N. Under suitable assumptions on ViV_i and PP, we prove the existence of ground-state solutions for this problem. Moreover, for k=2k=2, assuming that the domain ΩΩ and the potentials ViV_i are radially symmetric, we prove that the ground state solutions are foliated Schwarz symmetric with respect to antipodal points. We provide several examples for our abstract framework.
