TL;DR
The paper develops a Lyapunov–Schmidt reduction to construct concentrating solutions for a mixed-interaction nonlinear Schrödinger system arising in multispecies Bose–Einstein condensates and nonlinear optics. It builds an ansatz with a dominant single-bump component and a symmetric array of $k$ bumps for the other components, then reduces the problem to finite- and infinite-dimensional equations, controlling error terms via correction functions $\Phi_\epsilon,\Psi_\epsilon$. The leading-order balance between inter-bubble interactions and the shadow potential $\omega$ determines the feasibility and location of concentration, with distinct outcomes for $\alpha=0$ (two-component case) and $\alpha\neq0$ (multi-component case). The results establish the existence of solutions where the second (and further) components concentrate at $k$ points forming a regular polygon around the origin, under precise sign conditions on $\Delta\omega(0)$ and $\alpha$, and provide a framework extendable to more complex mixed-interaction systems.
Abstract
In this paper we study the existence of solutions to nonlinear Schrödinger systems with mixed couplings of attractive and repulsive forces, which arise from the models in Bose-Einstein condensates and nonlinear optics. In particular, we build solutions whose first component has one bump and the other components have several peaks forming a regular polygon around the single bump of the first component.
