Abstract:
We present a novel approach to study the existence, non-existence and multiplicity of prescribed mass positive solutions to a Schr\odinger equation of the form \begin{equation*} -\Delta u+\lambda u=g(u), \quad u \in H^1(\RN), \, N \geq 1. \end{equation*} This approach permits to handle in a unified way nonlinearities $g(s)$ which are either mass subcritical, mass critical or mass supercritical. Among its main ingredients is the study of the asymptotic behaviors of the positive solutions as $\lambda\rightarrow 0^+$ or $\lambda\rightarrow +\infty$ and the existence of an unbounded continuum of solutions in $(0, + \infty) \times H^1(\RN)$. This talk is based on joint work with Prof. Louis Jeanjean and Prof. Xuexiu Zhong.
