TL;DR
The paper addresses the challenge of finding normalized standing wave solutions to the Schrödinger–Bopp–Podolsky system in bounded three-dimensional domains under a mass constraint. It reduces the coupled system to a single functional J by solving the BP equation for φ and employs a perturbation framework with a penalized functional J_{r,μ}, together with Cerami compactness and a Pohožaev-type identity, to prove existence and multiplicity of normalized solutions for small μ under Navier or Neumann boundary conditions. Notably, it handles general nonlinearities f with 2 < p < 6, including the L^2-supercritical range (10/3 < p < 6) without the Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition, and shows the existence of a normalized ground state on star-shaped domains. The results extend the theory of normalized solutions in bounded domains for nonlocal BP-coupled systems and provide a variational framework that accommodates nonconstant charge distributions q(x) and general nonlinearities.
Abstract
In this paper, by adapting the perturbation method, we study normalized standing wave solutions for the following nonlinear Schrödinger-Bopp-Podolsky system: - Delta u + q(x) phi u = omega u + f(u) in Omega, - Delta phi + a^2 Delta^2 phi = q(x) u^2 in Omega, where Omega is a smooth bounded domain in R^3, a > 0, and omega is the Lagrange multiplier associated with the L^2 mass constraint integral over Omega of u^2 equals mu, and f: R -> R is a continuous function satisfying some technical conditions. In particular, we prove the existence of normalized solutions for all masses mu in an interval (0, mu_0), under either Navier or Neumann boundary conditions for phi. Moreover, when f is odd, we obtain multiplicity of normalized solutions; and if Omega is star-shaped, we further obtain a normalized ground state solution.
