Abstract

This paper is concerned with the following periodic Hamiltonian elliptic system: \(-\Delta u+V(x)u=H_{v}(x,u,v)\), \(x\in\mathbb{R}^{N}\), \(-\Delta v+V(x)v=H_{u}(x,u,v)\), \(x\in\mathbb{R}^{N}\), \(u(x)\to0\), \(v(x)\to0\) as \(|x|\to\infty\). Assuming the potential V is periodic and 0 lies in a gap of \(\sigma(-\Delta+V)\), \(H(x,z)\) is periodic in x and superquadratic in \(z=(u,v)\). We establish the existence of infinitely many large energy solutions by the generalized variant fountain theorem developed recently by Batkam and Colin.

Summary

The single Schrödinger equation

U(x) → , as |x| → ∞, has been studied recently in Batkam and Colin [ ]. The variational setting for our problem is more complex and different from the case where V = since the potential V is a general periodic function. Let X = D(|A| / ) be the Hilbert space with the inner product (u, v)X = |A| / u, |A| / v and the corresponding norm u X = (u, v) X/. We introduce the generalized variant fountain theorem, and consider the C -functional λ : E → R defined by λ(u) = I(u) – λJ(u), λ ∈ [ , ]. The following version of the fountain theorem for a strongly indefinite functional is due to Batkam and Colin [ ]. To prove our main result, by the assumption (V) and decomposition of E, we define the following functional on E: λ(z) =. There exists k > such that ξ (x)|zk|p < ε, ∀k ≥ k
